Single-dose vectored thermal pulsation may treat meibomian gland dysfunction
A single vectored thermal pulsation treatment may offer 12 months of reduction in dry eye symptoms for patients with meibomian gland dysfunction, according to a study. Researchers included 400 eyes of 200 subjects in the prospective, multicenter, open-label clinical trial. Patients were randomized into a single vectored thermal pulsation (VTP) treatment group or a control group of twice-daily, 3-month, conventional warm compress and eyelid hygiene. Control patients received crossover VTP treatment at 3 months.
