Abstract

To assess the prophylactic effect of LipiFlow treatment in Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) patients exposed to an adverse environmental humidity. MGD patients were exposed to normal (23 °C; 50% relative humidity; 30 min) and adverse (23 °C; 10% relative humidity; 2 h) controlled environments consecutively during baseline and follow-up visits (3, 6, and 12 months) after a single LipiFlow treatment. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), lipid layer thickness (LLT), fluorescein tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal and conjunctival staining, change in dry eye symptoms questionnaire (CDES-Q), and Meibomian gland yielding liquid secretion (MGYLS), were assessed. Linear mixed-effects and cumulative logit mixed models were fitted to assess the effect of the LipiFlow treatment over time and within the controlled environments. Seventeen females and 4 males (59.6 ± 9.4 years) completed the study. LLT and TBUT did not vary significantly (p > 0.05) after LipiFlow treatment. OSDI, corneal and conjunctival staining, and MGYLS scores were improved (p ≤ 0.01) 12 months after treatment. After the adverse exposure, corneal staining increased at all visits (p = 0.01), and there was no significant improvement in CDES-Q scores after LipiFlow treatment (p ≥ 0.07). One LipiFlow treatment improved objective and subjective outcomes in MGD disease for at least one year. Further studies are needed to support that LipiFlow might also help as an adjuvant to avoid acute flares against an adverse environmental humidity.

摘要

评估 LipiFlow 治疗在暴露于不利环境湿度的睑板腺功能障碍 (MGD) 患者中的预防效果。MGD 患者在基线和随访期间(治疗后 3、6 和 12 个月)连续暴露于正常(23°C;50%相对湿度;30 分钟)和不利(23°C;10%相对湿度;2 小时)的受控环境中。评估眼表面疾病指数 (OSDI)、脂质层厚度 (LLT)、荧光素泪膜破裂时间 (TBUT)、角膜和结膜染色、干眼症状问卷 (CDES-Q) 变化以及睑板腺分泌液 (MGYLS)。线性混合效应和累积对数混合模型用于评估 LipiFlow 治疗随时间的影响以及在受控环境中的影响。17 名女性和 4 名男性(59.6±9.4 岁)完成了这项研究。LipiFlow 治疗后 LLT 和 TBUT 无显著差异(p>0.05)。治疗 12 个月后,OSDI、角膜和结膜染色以及 MGYLS 评分均得到改善(p≤0.01)。暴露于不利环境后,所有随访时角膜染色均增加(p=0.01),LipiFlow 治疗后 CDES-Q 评分无显著改善(p≥0.07)。一次 LipiFlow 治疗可改善 MGD 疾病的客观和主观结果至少一年。需要进一步的研究来支持 LipiFlow 可能也有助于作为一种辅助手段来避免对不利环境湿度的急性发作。
