Operating mechanism of dry eye treatment with IRPL®

All the studies conducted showed improvement in the quality of meibum but also in the compression of the meibomian glands. This improvement will last: About a week after the initial treatment. Two to three weeks after the second. Between 6 months to 3 years after the third session. The effect is cumulative.

Notes: The total score of the 10 single symptoms were defined as the total symptom scores. (Dryness, Foreign body sensation, Itching, Burning, Visual Fatigue, Blurred Vision, Sensitivity to light, Watering, Secretion disturbance, Pain). *Compared to the baseline, the total symptom score significantly decreased at the time of D15, D45 and D75 (P<0.01). **Between the visits of D15 and D45, the total score continuously decreased (P<0.01), while between the visits of D45 and D75, no significant difference was observed (P=0.85).

In the long run

The treatment effects last 6 months to 3 years after the 3rd to 4th sessions.

In 60% of cases, effects persist beyond 3 years after the treatment.

According to the Oxford scheme (0,I, II, III, IV), patients with lower grade (1 and 2) are “easy” candidates that go down from 1 to 2 grades after the first 3 sessions.
