Sodium fluorescein will be instilled in both eyes of the subject. A follow-up investigator will do the examination by slit lamp. Tear film breakup time (TFBUT) is the time to initial breakup of the tear film after a blink is measured three times and taken average.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)
The 12-item symptom frequency-based questionnaire Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) is self-administered by patients at each study visit for assessment of dry eye disease (DED) related symptoms and its severity. Final OSDI score is calculated by dividing the product of the total sum of score and 25 by the total number of answered questions, with a range from 0 to 100 (normal: 0-12, mild dry eye disease: 13-22, moderate dry eye disease: 23-32, severe dry eye disease: >33).
Change in Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED)
The Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) questionnaire is self-administered by patients at each study visit for monitoring dry eye symptoms progression throughout the study. Final SPEED score is calculated by summating the score of all answered questions, with a range from 0 to 28 (mild dry eye symptoms: 0-4, moderate dry eye symptoms: 5-7, severe dry eye symptoms: >8).
Change in symptom Assessment iN Dry Eye (SANDE)
The 2-item frequency- and severity-based visual analog scale Symptom Assessment iN Dry Eye (SANDE) questionnaire is self-administered by patients at each study visit to evaluate the frequency and severity of dry eye symptoms. Final SANDE score is calculated by obtaining the square root of the product of the frequency of symptoms score and the severity of symptoms score, with a range from 0 (minimal degree of dry eye symptoms) to 100 (maximal degree of dry eye symptoms)
Change in ocular comfort index (OCI)
The Ocular Comfort Index (OCI) questionnaire is self-administered by patients at each study visit to evaluate the topical treatment outcome of dry eye symptoms. The final OCI score will be linearly rescaled which ranges from 0 (minimal degree of dry eye symptoms) to 100 (maximal degree of dry eye symptoms).
Change in dry eye questionnaire (DEQ-5)
The Dry Eye Questionnaire (DEQ-5) is self-administered by patients at each study visit for assessment of the frequency and intensity of dry eye symptoms. The final DEQ-5 score is calculated by summating the score of all answered questions, with a range from 0 to 22. A score greater or equal to 6 is considered positive for dry eye symptoms.
Change in tear film breakup time (TFBUT)
Sodium fluorescein will be instilled in both eyes of the subject. A follow-up investigator will do the examination by slit lamp. Tear film breakup time (TFBUT) is the time to initial breakup of the tear film after a blink is measured three times and taken average.
Change in non-invasive keratograph break-up time (NIKBUT)
Non-invasive keratograph break-up time (NIKBUT) is measured using automated detection of the first break-up by Keratograph 5M (OCULUS, Wetzlar, Germany), while the subject maintains fixation and is requested to refrain from blinking. Three break-up time readings are averaged in each case for both eyes.
Change in bulbar conjunctival hyperaemia
Bulbar conjunctival hyperaemia is evaluated by Keratograph 5M (OCULUS, Wetzlar, Germany) according to the proprietary JENVIS grading scale from 0 to 4.
Change in lower tear meniscus height (TMH)
The lower tear meniscus height (TMH) is assessed using high magnification pre-calibrated digital imaging by Keratograph 5M (OCULUS, Wetzlar, Germany), and three measurement points (nasal and temporal limbus, pupil center) of the lower meniscus are averaged.
Change in lipid layer thickness (LLT)
Lipid layer thickness (LLT) of the tear film as determined with LipiView II (TearScience, Morrisville, NC). Minimum, Maximum and Average thickness in nm will be measured.
Change in tear interferometric fringe pattern
Tear interferometric fringe pattern is graded according to the modified Guillon-Keeler system with LipiView II (TearScience, Morrisville, NC). It will be graded according to the modified Guillon-Keeler system: grade 1, open meshwork; grade 2, closed meshwork; grade 3, wave or flow; grade 4, amorphous; grade 5, colored fringes; grade 0, non-continuous layer (non-visible or abnormal colored fringes).
Change in meiboscore
The meiboscore grading scale uses a 0 to 3 grading scale by LipiView II (TearScience, Morrisville, NC) infrared meibography on both superior and inferior eyelids, with a grade of 0 representing no meibomian gland atrophy, with grades of 1, 2, and 3 representing 1% to 33%, 34% to 66%, and ≥67% of glands lost, respectively.
Change in meibograde
Meibograde is evaluating gland distortion, gland shortening, and gland dropout by LipiView II (TearScience, Morrisville, NC) infrared meibography on both superior and inferior eyelids. Each of these characteristics is graded from 0-3, like the meiboscore, and then they are summed to give a total score of 0-9 per eyelid.
Change in partial blinking rate
Partial blinking rate is reported as the percentage of incomplete blinks, which recorded by LipiView II (TearScience, Morrisville, NC).
Change in schirmer's test (ST)
Schirmer's test (ST) will be performed by standard filter paper strips without anesthesia for 5 mins in both eyes at the same time. The wetting length by tears in each strip is recorded. The strips will be collected in sterile centrifuge tubes respectively for laboratory tests.
Change in Lid margin and eyelash abnormalities
Lid margin and eyelash abnormalities will be accessed by a slit lamp, including lid margin thickening, rounding, notching, foaming, telangiectasia, meibomian gland capping, staphylococcal lash crusting, seborrheic lash crusting, Demodex lash cylindrical collarettes, madarosis, poliosis, and trichiasis. All items will be graded based on a four-point scale: grade 0, absent; grade 1, mild; grade 2, moderate; grade 3, severe.
Change in corneal and conjunctival staining score
Corneal and conjunctival damage is evaluated by corneal and conjunctival staining scores according to the Oxford grading system (six-point scale). Fluorescein sodium will be Instilled in both eyes. The staining of the eyes will be examined by follow-up investigators with a slit lamp under cobalt blue light. Scores range from 0-5 ( absent to severe).
Change in lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE)
Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is evaluated relative to Korb's grading. Only the superior eyelid will be examined on the linear area of staining and severity of staining. The linear area of staining is graded on a three-point scale (grade 0, <2 mm; grade 1, 2-4 mm; grade 2, 5-9 mm; grade 3, ≥10 mm). The severity of staining is graded on a four-point scale (grade 0, none; grade 1, slight; grade 2, mild; grade 3, moderate; grade 4, severe). The total grade was the sum of the grading score of the linear area of staining and severity of staining.
Change in expressibility of meibomian glands in the meibomian glands yielding liquid secretion (MGYLS) (the inferior eyelid)
Expressibility of the inferior eyelid meibomian glands is assessed with the Meibomian Gland Evaluator (TearScience, North Carolina, USA) applied just inferior to the nasal, central, and temporal aspects of the inferior eyelid margin. The meibomian glands yielding liquid secretion (MGYLS) is the total number of glands which yielding lipid secretions at the nasal, central, and temporal aspects of the eyelid margin (5 glands each part).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), closely associated with Dry Eye Disease (DED), is a chronic condition where terminal ducts are obstructed and/or glandular secretion changes. The efficacy of traditional treatment options, e.g. eyelid warm compress therapy (EW) is limited with low compliance. This study aims to (1)compare the efficacy and safety of two emerging alternatives- vectored thermal pulsation(VTP) or intense pulsed light and meibomian gland expression(IPL + MGX) with EW therapy; (2)identify factors predicting outcome. This is a prospective, randomized, assessor-masked, active-controlled clinical study. 360 participants (360 study eyes) with mild-to-moderate MGD will be randomized by minimization into three arms equally, receiving either VTP by TearScience-LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System (month 0), IPL by Lumenis®️M22 with MGX (month 0, 1, 2, 3) or EW (twice daily). Lubricating eye drops (3% Hypromellose) will be provided for all subjects throughout the study period(15 months). Tear film breakup time will be assessed as primary outcome at month 6, 15. Serial measurements of MG, tear-film, DED-related parameters, intraocular pressure, compliance to EW, factors associated with outcomes and treatment-related complications will be conducted at baseline and each follow-up visit by masked observers at baseline and eight follow-up evaluation (month 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15).
Detailed Description
Dry eye disease (DED) is an emerging, under-recognized and under-treated epidemic of the 21st century. It is one of the commonest reasons seeking eye consultation worldwide. Depending on the diagnostic criteria, geographic location and population concerned, prevalence of DED ranges from 30 to over 50% in the Asia Pacific regions compared to around 5-10% in the United States. Up to 90% of DED is closely associated with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a chronic and progressive condition characterized by terminal duct obstruction, qualitative and/or quantitative changes in the glandular secretions (meibum) which causes tear instability by increasing tear evaporation and subsequently increased tear osmolarity, ocular surface inflammation, epithelial damage and ocular surface disease. Studies suggest that MGD affects between 5-20 % of Caucasians and over 60% of Asians populations. Conventional treatments for MGD including self-administered eyelid hygiene, eyelid warm compress therapy (EW), artificial tears, including lipid-containing lubricants are limited in their efficacies for moderate to advanced disease. Prescription medications (topical steroids, topical and oral antibiotics, topical immunomodulatory agents e.g. cyclosporine and oral omega-3 essential fatty acids) have demonstrated efficacies in improving symptoms and signs of MGD; however side-effects including preservative-related adverse events, development of antibiotic resistance, cost, accessibility, off-label use, and the need for ongoing treatments often limit their long-term use. Despite the described range of available options, management for MGDs is often considered unsatisfactory and frustrating by clinicians and patients. Compliance to long-term, home-based self-administered therapies is known to be suboptimal while practitioner-administered treatment including meibomian gland expression (MGX) provides transient relief. Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is widely used in cosmetic dermatology as well as therapeutically for a wide range of skin conditions with favourable efficacy and tolerability. Concurrent MGD improvements were observed serendipitously in patients undergoing IPL for rosacea. With growing interest in combining IPL+MGX as practitioner-administered physical therapy for MGD, recent review and meta-analysis showed its effectiveness and safety while calling to investigate its effect beyond 6 months after the last IPL treatment. Vectored thermal pulsation (VTP) is approved by FDA as another practitioner-administered physical therapy for MGD. The device covers both the cutaneous and mucosal surfaces of the eyelids; the rear portion of the device provides heat to the MG, and the front portion gives mechanical stimulation to the eyelid skin. It evacuates the MG of the upper and lower eyelids simultaneously with minimal discomfort while protecting the cornea, rendering the experience for patients generally favorable. Recent meta-analysis showed that a single 12-minute VTP was more efficacious than EW in treating MGD. Knowledge gaps: Level I evidence comparing efficacies between two promising practitioner-administered therapies VTP and multi-session IPL+MGX with standard self-administered twice-daily EW for MGD is currently lacking. The onset and offset of therapeutic effects, time course of multi-session IPL+MGX, single-session VTP or twice-daily EW on MGD up to 15-month post-treatment initiation or 12-month post last session of IPL have not been studied either in an RCT setting. These important gaps will be addressed in this application. Primary Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of 1-session vectored thermal pulsation (VTP) or 4-session intense pulsed light and meibomian gland expression (IPL+MGX) with twice-daily eyelid warm compress (EW) therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Secondary Objectives: To compare the course of MGD among groups over 15 months (12-month after final IPL+MGX); To identify factors predicting responses and compliance to therapies. Hypotheses: Both 1-session VTP and 4-session IPL+MGX are more efficacious than twice-daily EW in improving MGD; MGD improves earlier after VTP; MGD improvement lasts longer after 4-session IPL+MGX. Study design: This is a prospective, randomized, assessor-masked, 3-arm (1:1:1), active-controlled trial of 360 subjects with meibomian gland dysfunction contributing one study eye. For subjects with both eyes eligible, the eye with the fewest quality of expressed meibum, thinnest lipid layer, or the lowest TFBUT values (in this order) will be selected as the study eye. A total of 360 patients with symptomatic MGD will be recruited from the participating hospitals coordinated by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Research Clinic, the CUHK Eye Centre (CUHKEC), Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Faculty of Medicine, The CUHK. Randomization will be carried out by a computer-generated minimization program. Minimization is a dynamic process to reduce the imbalance between trial arms with respect to a range of predefined prognostic variables, and a randomization schedule is therefore not drawn up in advance. A form describing the baseline characteristics of each subject according to these minimization criteria: gender, age, and quality of expressed meibum from the study eye. Treatment allocation will be sent to the unmasked trial coordinator for arrangement at baseline (month 0). Enrolled patients will be randomized into one of the following groups, 1 month after recruitment during the 15-month study period receiving bilateral treatment of: Group A: 1-session VTP at month 0; Group B: 4-session IPL+MGX at month 0,1,2,3; Group C: twice daily EW for 15 months. All patients will be given one single topical lubricant (Hypromellose, 3mg/ml) to be used as frequently as needed from recruitment to study exit (total 16 months). IPL or VTP is given by unmasked treating investigators not involved in data collection. Follow-up investigators collecting the data are masked to participants' treatment assignment. This information can be disclosed upon request after the completion of the study. Unmasked trial coordinators will ensure masking by reminding and accompanying each patient before and during visit. Treatment-related complications will be evaluated by all participants in a standard datasheet regardless of group assignment. Follow-up investigators will be asked if they know each participant's group assignment at each visit and why. Tear film breakup time will be assessed as the primary outcome (month 6 and 15). Serial measurements of MG, tear-film, DED-related parameters, intraocular pressure, compliance to EW, factors associated with outcomes, and treatment-related complications will be conducted by masked investigators at baseline and eight follow-up evaluations (month 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15).
