First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people with different skin pigmentation have different eyelid temperatures after low-level light therapy (LLLT) for dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction. About 40 adults will receive three 15-minute LLLT sessions over 1-2 weeks. The main goal is to measure eyelid temperature, not to treat the condition.
