  • IPL like at home with a new device the Q

    A new device based on Red light technology increases tear break-up time in dry eye patients, this device can be used at home.
    it's name is the Q short for The Quantum.
    The investigators obtained tear break-up time data before and after treatment for 81 eyes. Dr. Toyos reported that the mean break-up time before treatment was 3.62 ± 2.05 seconds (range, 0.9 to 8.54 seconds). After treatment, the mean break-up time was 5.87 ± 2.95 seconds (range, 1.5 to 16.19 seconds). The difference between before and after treatment reached significance (P<0.001).

            I bought this. It's basically a $500 flashlight with vibration. When it dies, I'll try to make my own for much cheaper.

            Don't know if it's helped me so far, but to be honest my MGD is terrible at this point and there's not a whole lot that I can do. I'm sure it will be helpful for other people though. Ophthalmology Times has an article about it. It mentions that patients' average TBUT increased from about 3 seconds to 5 seconds when using the device. If that's a fairly representative sample of MGD patients, then I think most people will benefit from it.

            Dr. Toyos demonstrates how it works in this YouTube video. It seems like a good substitute for IPL (mechanism of action is very similar) and it may help increase the time between IPL treatments.

              i think, the trick is to find the right wave to give the right energy to the gland.if you do it your self it's better. be carrefull about the amount of energy
