Objective: To observe the clinical effect of intense pulse light (IPL) on MGD dry eyes. Methods: Sixty-four patients(64 right eyes) with MGD dry eye from October 2019 to December 2019 were collected and randomly divided into control group (n=32) and observation group (n=32). The control group was treated with meibomian gland massage combined with conventional medicine, while the observation group was treated with IPL combined with meibomian gland massage and conventional medicine. The course of treatment of both groups was 6 weeks. The dry eye symptoms, dry eye signs and meibomian gland function changes were observed before and after treatment in both groups. Results: The dry eye symptoms, physical signs and meibomian gland function of the two groups after treatment were significantly improved compared with those before treatment (P>0.05). The improvement of dry eye symptoms, physical signs and meibomian gland function in observation group were better than those of the control group at two and four weeks after treatment (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 6 weeks after treatment (P>0.05). The effective rate in observation group was 87.5% (28/32) after 6 weeks treatment, while control group was 75% (24/32), the difference was statistically significant (P=0.021). No adverse reactions occurred in both groups during the treatment. Conclusion: IPL combined with meibomian gland massage can effectively reduce the ocular discomfort and improve the function of meibomian gland in MGD dry eyes,which is faster and more effective than meibomian gland massage alone.
