| Popis: | AIM: To investigate the efficacy and mechanisms of indirect intense pulsed light (IPL) irradiation on meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). METHODS: A total of 60 MGD patients was included in this prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 into two groups (3-mm group and 10-mm group) in which IPL was applied at distances from the lower eyelid margin of 3 and 10 mm, respectively. Both groups received three times treatment with 3-week interval. Meibomian gland yield secretion score (MGYSS), standard patient evaluation of eye dryness (SPEED) questionnaire, tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining (CFS), and in vivo confocal microscopy were performed at baseline and after every treatment. RESULTS: After three IPL treatments, both groups had significant improvement in MGYSS (both P |
