Are IPL and LipiFlow treatments really effective for dry eye syndrome?

I have dry eyes, so I use artificial tears frequently.

Has anyone received dry eye treatments such as IPL or LipiFlow?

I am curious about how much my dry eye symptoms have improved after the procedure and how long the effects last. Since the procedure is performed on the eyes, I am also concerned that undergoing it expecting symptom improvement might lead to other discomforts.

However, for those who have received it, was the improvement in dry eye symptoms good enough to take that into account?

If you have any information regarding how many sessions are typically required to see results, whether it is a recommended procedure, or if there are any side effects or precautions, please share it.
