Abstract
The article focuses on the use of thermal pulsation therapy to diagnose and manage meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). It states that thermal pulsation technology features an interferometer that evaluates ocular surface through digital image and measures lipid layer's thickness. It mentions that significant improvement in the meibomian gland secretion was seen after conducting thermal pulsation and shows reduction in dry eye symptoms.
