Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the effect of IPL combined with lipiflow and IPL combined with meibomian gland massage in treating meibomian gland dysfunction of different degrees ,focusing on effective rate, lasting time and changes of meibomian gland function and morphology.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
