What ThermaEye Plus IPL is

Intense pulsed light (IPL) uses controlled pulses of light applied around the eyelid area to help reduce inflammation and improve the function of the eyelid oil (meibomian) glands.

It is also known as IPL dry eye treatment, intense pulsed light treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction, and ThermaEye Plus IPL.

Who it may be suitable for

  • Adults with persistent burning, grittiness, watering or fluctuating vision.
  • Patients with signs of evaporative dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction.
  • Patients whose symptoms have not settled with drops and home care alone.

Important considerations

  • IPL is not suitable for every skin type, medical history or eye condition.
  • Recent tanning, certain medicines and pregnancy may mean treatment is postponed or avoided.
  • IPL forms part of a plan with eyelid care, lubricants, warm compresses and review appointments.
  • Results vary between patients and cannot be guaranteed.

How does IPL help dry eye?

Controlled pulses of light are applied around the eyelid area to help reduce inflammation and improve the function of the eyelid oil (meibomian) glands, which are a common cause of evaporative dry eye.

Who is ThermaEye Plus IPL suitable for?

Adults with persistent burning, grittiness, watering or fluctuating vision, and signs of evaporative dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction, where drops and home care have not settled symptoms.

Is IPL suitable for everyone?

No. Some skin types, medicines, recent tanning, pregnancy and certain eye conditions mean IPL is not appropriate, so a dry eye consultation is always required first.

How many IPL sessions are needed?

IPL is usually delivered as a course of sessions as part of a wider plan including eyelid care, lubricants, warm compresses and review appointments. The number is agreed at your consultation.

Is there an IPL dry eye clinic in Peterborough?
