Around 50% of evaporative dry eye cases are caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), whereby certain factors disrupt the usual functioning of these glands. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, less oil is present on the eye\u2019s surface and the tear film is unstable and evaporates more rapidly leaving a dry eye. IPL has been recently introduced to ophthalmology as a safe and effective treatment for evaporative dry eye as it is found to significantly improve tear quality and relieve associated symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many patients opt for lubricating eye drops to maintain a moist surface of the eyes, and prevent dry eyes. We perform our dry eye treatment using the M22 laser by Lumenis – a leading manufacturer of energy-based medical solutions for the aesthetic and ophthalmology industries. <\/span><\/p>\n

Eye protectors will be placed over the eyes before applying a cooling gel. Intense pulses of light are then delivered to the eyes by placement of a handheld device. <\/span>The light will turn to heat when absorbed by the oxyhaemoglobin which will melt the substances that are causing a blockage in the glands – the underlying cause of MGD. By gently massaging the eyelids after applying IPL any excess oil is expressed and the natural production of oil is stimulated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Maycock may recommend up to 4, monthly treatments to ensure full functioning of the meibomian glands has been restored.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3073,"parent":0,"menu_order":9,"template":"","class_list":["post-2993","treatment","type-treatment","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDry Eye Treatment -
