What is IPL therapy?
IPL therapy is a treatment for evaporative dry eye that uses intense pulsed light to improve meibomian gland function. The meibomian glands are responsible for producing the oily layer of the tear film that helps to keep the eye lubricated. When these glands become blocked or dysfunctional, it can lead to dry eye symptoms. IPL therapy is thought to help improve meibomian gland function by increasing glandular activity and improving oil quality.
IPL Benefits Include:
- Improved Gland Function: IPL can enhance the function of meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer of tears. By improving gland function, it helps stabilize the tear film and reduce dryness.
- Improved Tear Quality: IPL treatment can lead to better tear quality by addressing meibomian gland dysfunction. It liquifies hardened oil that can block the gland, promoting healthier tears.
- Non-Invasive Solution: Unlike some invasive procedures, IPL therapy is non-surgical and doesn’t require incisions or anesthesia.
- Longer-Lasting Results: Patients who undergo IPL therapy often experience longer-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms compared to traditional treatments.
- Reduced Inflammation: IPL closes abnormal blood vessels, decreases inflammation, and kills bacteria and mites, contributing to overall symptom improvement.

IPL Therapy Treatment Process
During the procedure, which typically lasts 15-20 minutes, a cooling gel is applied to the skin around the eyes. A portable device emits short bursts of light. Patients may feel warmth or stinging, but this sensation usually subsides quickly. The process is non-invasive.

Frequently Asked Questions
IPL treatment can greatly relieve dry eye syndrome symptoms by enhancing tear quality and reducing inflammation. However, it’s essential to understand that IPL is not a permanent cure. Regular follow-up treatments may be needed to sustain the benefits and manage symptoms over time.
You’ll typically need a series of 4 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart, and a fifth session about 6 months later. However, in severe cases, your doctor may recommend additional treatments.
After an IPL treatment for dry eye disease, most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Some individuals may experience mild redness or swelling around the treated area, which typically subsides within hours to a few days. Outcomes vary based on the patient’s severity of symptoms; while some see significant improvement within days, others may require multiple treatments.
Many people notice improvements after the first or second session, but the effects can last for several months or even years.
