Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of
microblepharoeexfoliation (MBE), intense pulse light (IPL) and meibomian gland expression
(MGX) combination in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
The main question it aims to answer are:
- Does MBE-IPL-MGX treatment improve dry eye symptoms?
- Does MBE-IPL-MGX treatment improve dry eye signs?
Participants were assigned to receive either three sessions of MBE-IPL-MGX treatment and
home-based therapy (treatment group) or home-based therapy alone (control group).
The investigators will compare both groups to see if MBE-IPL-MGX treatment is superior to
home-based therapy.
