The purpose of this research study is to understand the mechanism of action of low level light therapy and also potentially yield markers associated with good treatment response. Low-level light therapy is light-based treatment delivered through advance eye-light device. This therapy uses light energy to provide energy to the meibomian gland cells to slow down age-ing, improve tear stability and reduce inflammation.
