Talk Description
Mark Lucey presents on Targeted Light & Energy Therapies for MGD-related Dry Eye: IPL, LLLT, and Radiofrequency
Duration: 30 minutes
Synopsis: Explore how Intense Pulsed Light, Low-Level Light Therapy, and Radiofrequency are transforming the management of meibomian gland dysfunction through targeted, evidence-based energy delivery. This session cuts through the marketing noise to reveal where each technology truly fits in clinical practice — and how to integrate them for measurable, lasting results in dry eye care.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, delegates should be able to:

This session cuts through the marketing noise to reveal where each technology truly fits in clinical practice — and how to integrate them for measurable, lasting results in dry eye care.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, delegates should be able to:
- Understand and evaluate the scientific rationale and clinical mechanisms behind Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT / Photobiomodulation), and Radiofrequency (RF) in the management of meibomian gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye.
2. Interpret and appraise current clinical evidence — including randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews — to distinguish proven therapeutic effects from emerging or device-specific claims.
3. Design and implement an optimized treatment protocol that integrates IPL, LLLT, or RF into existing dry eye care pathways, balancing efficacy, patient selection, safety, and economic considerations in real-world practice.
