IPL for Lasik induced dry eye

[ebi1368]

Just an update for one week after my IPL.

Since my IPL I had a few rough days. I drank a few beers on Sunday and that was a big mistake. Anyway, I think my right eye is a bit better but the left eye is still bothering me. Still trying to stay hopeful that the 4th IPL do the trick. My doctor told me some people require 6 to 8 IPL. My next IPL is next Thursday.

I also booked an appointment for Prokera on Nov 21th for the left eye.

You may have said this before but i missed it. How long are you waiting between each IPL? I am on IPL #3. I did one. Waited 4 weeks. Did another and waited 3 weeks. Did number 3. Now i get the next 6 weeks after that. Im seeing a lot of improvement overall. Left eye is still bothersome. It seems yours are not far apart.

For me it took time to really see the benefits. I didnt get immediately better.

I am doing one every two weeks.
My doctor said she had better success with patient when they were doing every two weeks. Did your doctor suggested theses timelines?

I am just coming out of doctor office. He did a lipiview.

My left eye went from 38 to 50. My right eye went from 70 to 35.

Does anybody know why?
When I did my first lipiview I had temporary plug. Does it affect the lipid layer?


I should also add that my blinking is much better now. I do not know the exact number but I have less partial blinking.

I am quadra plugged and IPL has helped so no the plug does not affect the lipid layer.
