AI simplified
Abstract
increased by 2.3±1.9 seconds in the intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment group compared to 0.5±1.4 seconds in the control group.
- Both treatment methods resulted in improvements in dry eye disease (DED) symptoms.
- The IPL arm showed a greater reduction in symptom severity, with a 38% reduction in SPEED compared to 22% in the control arm.
- improved by 197% in the IPL arm versus a 96% improvement in the control arm.
- Corneal fluorescein staining decreased significantly in both groups, but the difference was not statistically significant.
- A composite score of lid margin abnormalities improved more in the IPL arm, indicating better overall treatment efficacy.
