Abstract:Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a clinically common chronic inflammatory disease, which is the major cause of
dry eye disease (DED). As a novel therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction and relevant dry eye diseases, intense pulsed light (IPL)
is getting more attention from ophthalmologists, and its safety and efficacy have been increasingly recognized.With the increasing
demand for clinical treatment and the development of phototherapy technology, the treatment of MGD and relevant dry eye diseases
by IPL shows a diversified trend. This paper aims to review the application progress of IPL as an independent therapy or combined
with other physiotherapy methods, and expound the current application status of IPL in the treatment of MGD, in order to provide
certain reference basis for clinical treatment of MGD.
