Group A was treated with IPL, and Group B was treated with tobramycin/dexamethasone plus warm compress. Ocular Surface Disease Index(OSDI), tear film breakup time(TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining(CFS), meibomian gland expressibility(MGE), meibum quality, gland dropout and tear cytokine levels were evaluated before treatment, 1 wk and 1 mo after treatment. RESULTS: TBUT in Group A was higher(P=0.035), and MGE score was lower than Group B at 1 mo(P=0.001). The changes of interleukin(IL)-17 A and IL-1β levels in tears were lower in Group A compared with that in Group B at 1 wk after treatment(P=0.05, P=0.005).CONCLUSION: Treatment with IPL can improve TBUT and MGE and downregulate levels of IL-17 A and IL-1β in tears of patients with DED associated MGD better than treatment with tobramycin/dexamethasone plus warm compress in one-month treatment period.展开更多
