We want all our patients to know that you still need to take precautions to protect your eyes even after you have the treatment. It’s not something you just drop and do nothing about.
You still have to maintain the quality of the lids by cleaning them daily using the warm compresses. If you’re using prescription medications, you need to stick with using it. Make sure that you avoid fans and air conditioning blowing directly into your eyes. Don’t smoke. Really, any of the normal tips we would give to any of our patients experiencing dry eyes, we would give to those receiving IPL treatment as well.
