Purpose:
To investigate the efficacy of IPL treatment for ocular rosacea in patients who have not adequately responded to traditional treatments to control signs and symptoms of acute inflammation.
Setting:
Private Clinical Practice
Methods:
A retrospective review of ten patients with ocular rosacea who received the Toyos Technique IPL treatments. Patients completed a post-treatment subjective questionnaire. Tear Break Up Time (TBUT) was measured objectively by Oculus keratograph and slit lamp examination were used to measure improvement.
Results:
A subjective decrease in symptoms was reported among patients and an increase in TBUT on keratograph was recorded. However, in patients with associated scarring/pannus, no significant improvement was noted in that finding.
Conclusions:
Positive results from this study warrant further investigation into the use of IPL for the treatment of ocular rosacea. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: ... receives consulting fees, retainer, or contract payments from a company producing, developing or supplying the product or procedure presented
