Notes: Compared to the baseline, TBUT was significantly improved in the VTP group at 3 months post treatment (p=0.001); however, the improvement was not statistically significant in the doxycycline group (p=0.262). There was no significant difference in the mean TBUT values of the two groups at 3 months (p=0.155; error bars represent SD).

Abbreviations: TBUT, tear breakup time; VTP, vectored thermal pulsation.
