Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the effect of intense pulsed light (IPL) in the treatment of chronic hordeolum.

Methods

Patients with chronic hordeolum who underwent IPL treatment were enrolled in this study. According to the severity of hordeolum, the patients were treated with IPL 3 to 5 times. Patients’ satisfaction and visual analog scale scores for ocular discomfort symptoms before and after treatment were collected. The number, congestion, long diameter, short diameter and area of nodules were also recorded and measured. Finally, eyelid margin signs, meibum quality, meibomian gland expressibility, meibomian gland dropout, tear meniscus height, and corneal fluorescein staining were scored.

Results

20 patients were enrolled in this study. The eyelid margins were congestive and swollen, with blunt rounding or irregularity. The meibum was cloudy or toothpaste-like. The meibomian gland expressibility, meibomian gland dropout and tear meniscus height were reduced. The cornea showed scattered fluorescein staining. After treatment, score of visual analog scale, congestion and size of nodules were significantly reduced. Eyelid margin signs, meibum quality, meibomian gland expressibility, tear meniscus height and corneal fluorescein staining scores were improved. Meibomian gland dropout had no significant change. No side effects occurred during treatment.

Conclusions

IPL is beneficial for the treatment of chronic hordeolum.

强脉冲光治疗对慢性角皮病的影响

目的：评估强脉冲光（IPL）治疗慢性角化病的效果：评估强脉冲光（IPL）治疗慢性角化病的效果：研究对象为接受强脉冲光治疗的慢性角化病患者。根据角化病的严重程度，患者接受了 3 至 5 次强脉冲光治疗。收集了治疗前后患者对眼部不适症状的满意度和视觉模拟量表评分。此外，还记录并测量了结节的数量、充血程度、长径、短径和面积。最后，对眼睑边缘体征、睑板腺质量、睑板腺表达能力、睑板腺脱落、泪液半月板高度和角膜荧光素染色进行评分。眼睑边缘充血肿胀，钝圆或不规则。睑板腺混浊或呈牙膏样。睑板腺表达率、睑板腺脱落率和泪液半月板高度降低。角膜出现散在荧光素染色。治疗后，视觉模拟量表的评分、结节的充血和大小均明显减少。眼睑边缘体征、睑板腺质量、睑板腺表达能力、泪液半月板高度和角膜荧光素染色评分均有所改善。睑板腺脱落无明显变化。治疗期间未出现副作用：结论：强脉冲光治疗慢性角膜病是有益的。
