Rolando & Melissa Toyos, ISOPT 2018 – IPL therapy and PRP eye drops for dry eye disease
Rolando and Melissa Toyos talk about their current research into intense pulse light (IPL) therapy for dry eye disease. IPL therapy is a light treatment applied to the skin to stimulate the meibomian glands to produce a better tear. The current study looks at the efficacy of IPL versus meibomian gland expression, and the results will be available in around 6 months. Another area of research is the platelet rich plasma (PRP) eye drops in the treatment of a number of conditions including oculoplastic procedures.
