Effect of Intense Pulsed-Light Treatment Using a Novel Dual-Band Filter in Patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Background: This study evaluates the effect of intense pulsed-light (IPL) treatment in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) using a novel dual-band filter (vascular filter, 530–650 nm and 900–1200 nm) and compares it with the effect and discomfort during treatment using a conventional fil...

description Background: This study evaluates the effect of intense pulsed-light (IPL) treatment in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) using a novel dual-band filter (vascular filter, 530–650 nm and 900–1200 nm) and compares it with the effect and discomfort during treatment using a conventional filter. Methods: The medical records of 89 patients (89 eyes) with MGD who underwent IPL treatment were reviewed. Patients treated with the vascular filter or conventional 590 nm filter were designated as Group A or Group B, respectively. Patients underwent IPL treatment four times every four weeks. Ocular surface disease index (OSDI) scores, dry eye (DE), and MGD parameters were determined before the first IPL treatment and after the fourth IPL treatment. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores were obtained at every IPL treatment. OSDI, DE and MGD parameters, and VAS were compared between the groups. Results: OSDI, DE, and MGD parameters improved after the four IPL treatments in both groups. There were no significant differences, between the groups, in OSDI, DE, and MGD parameters, before the first IPL treatment and after the fourth IPL treatment. VAS at each of the IPL treatments was lower in Group B than in Group A. Conclusion: IPL treatment using the novel vascular filter for patients with MGD is effective compared with conventional IPL treatment for MGD patients.
