Read the detailed description
To divide all participants into two groups, group one treated with IPL combined with Lipiflow and group two treated with IPL combined with meibomian gland massage.The following parameters were recorded after treatment: the effective rate, lasting time and changes of meibomian gland function and morphology.All parameters were compared between the two groups.

- Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
- Being tested
- IPL/Lipiflow, IPL/MGX

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
IPL/LipiflowProcedure or surgery
To treat patients with MGD using intense pulsed light combined with lipiflow
IPL/MGXProcedure or surgery
To treat patients with MGD using intense pulsed light combined with meibomian gland massage
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| IPL/Lipiflow | Experimental | the group in which patients treated with IPL combined with lipiflow Receives: Procedure: IPL/Lipiflow |
| IPL/MGX | Active comparator | the group in which patients treated with IPL combined with meibomian gland massage Receives: Procedure: IPL/MGX |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
ocular surface disease index(OSDI)
The OSDI is assessed on a scale of 0 to 100,with higher scores representing greater disability
Measured: 6 months
meibomian gland expressibility score and meibum quality score
The score is on a scale of 0 to 6.The higher scores, the severity of the meibomian gland function(the highest score is 6 and the lowest score is 0)
Measured: 6 months
meibomian gland dropout score
the higher scores, the severity of the meibomian gland morphology(The highest score is 6 and the lowest score is 0)
Measured: 6 months
Breakup time
the shorter time, the poorer of the tear film stability
Measured: 6 months
