Meibomian gland dysfunction

[dryeyeindia]

I have lipid layer thickness 23nm in one one eye and 27nn in another... Is it possible to increase LLT?
Is there anyone who could improve their LLT from such a low level?

I had low 30's in both my eyes for LLT. After 7 IPLs I am at 50nm in one eye and 80nm in the other. I'm gonna keep doing IPLs, hoping for more improvement. Just curious, what is your TBUT?

My doctor never checked my TBUT. Only Schirmer test and Lipiview were done.
Is IPL safe? is it more effective than Lipiflow?

I think the general consensus is that IPL is more effective than Lipiflow, and I would agree with that in my personal experience. It is safe but make sure the doctor is good and uses the right protocols.
