Vision By Design

Up to 80% of dry eye is from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) as shown in this video. We have a number of vertical glands along our eyelids that secret oil that lubricates your eyes. It should come out in an olive oil consistency. When the oil becomes thick and stagnant our tears evaporate too quickly which can lead to burning, sharp pain, watery eyes, and blurry or fluctuating vision. Chronic MGD can cause inflammation of the eye lids and can result in gland atrophy which is permanent damage to the glands.
The patient in this video was treated with IPL with gland expression to remove the old hardened oil. IPL targets multiple underlying causes that contribute to MGD so is a very effective way to improve dry eye signs and symptoms.
