Treatment of Dry Eye Disease

In our centre in fuengirola, clínica oftalmológica Dr. Nebro we have the following facilities IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for the treatment of EOS.

The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a breakthrough treatment for EOS. It is a pulsed light device, widely used in dermatology, which aims to deliver intense pulses of light at a specific wavelength.

The main indication for its use is the evaporative dry eye due to meibomian gland dysfunction. Through its treatment we manage to stimulate these glands, re-establishing their normal functioning, reducing inflammation and thus limiting tear evaporation.

Normally, the treatment pattern consists of the application of several thermal impulses around each eye, spacing each session at least 15 days apart and obtaining a progressive improvement in the symptomatology.

The IPL treatment is applied on a case-by-case basis for certain types of EOS, depending on the previous study carried out in consultation with the patient.
