Treatment of contact lens related dry eye with intense pulsed light
2022, Contact Lens and Anterior EyeCitation Excerpt :Typically, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment is used for removing hypertrichosis, benign cavernous, venous malformations, telangiectasia, port wine stains, and other pigmented lesions [24]. IPL treatment utilises a noncoherent polychromatic light source with a broad wavelength spectrum of 500–1200 nm on the cutaneous facial sebaceous glands [25], this photothermal effect of IPL is postulated to decrease inflammation, and stimulate the meibomian glands as the destruction of abnormal superficial microvasculature around the periorbital area that release inflammatory mediators is achieved by light energy being absorbed by melanin, haemoglobin and water and transformed into heat [26,27]. Additionally, IPL treatment on skin has been documented to increase fibroblast proliferation, enhanced collagen synthesis and local blood flow [28,29].
Current indications and new applications of intense pulsed light
2015, Actas Dermo-SifiliograficasCitation Excerpt :Tanned patients and those with a high phototype, as well as those who cannot or do not want to avoid exposure to sunlight after treatment should usually be excluded from treatment given the high risk of hyperpigmentation.14 An increasing number of studies have examined IPL systems alone or in combination with other types of treatment.15 In the following sections, we shall discuss the current indications and the new applications, and compare them with other therapies in cases where comparative studies have been conducted.
