Comprendiendo IPL Dry Eye Treatment
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a breakthrough treatment for chronic dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Originally developed for skin treatments, IPL has been proven highly effective for treating the root cause of evaporative dry eye.
At EyeCare Center of Orange County, we use IPL to reduce inflammation, eliminate bacteria and Demodex mites around the eyelids, and restore healthy meibomian gland function. Many patients experience significant improvement after just a few treatments.
