LipiFlow® is an advanced, FDA-approved treatment specifically designed for patients suffering from dry eye disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). This condition occurs when the glands in the eyelids that produce the oil component of tears become blocked or dysfunctional, leading to an unstable tear film and symptoms of dryness.

How LipiFlow® works:

The treatment uses gentle heat and pulsation to warm the eyelids, which helps to melt any blockages in the meibomian glands. This process stimulates the glands to produce and release healthy oils, restoring balance to the tear film. The procedure is non-invasive and is comfortable, typically lasting about 12 minutes, and requires no anesthesia.

Benefits of LipiFlow®:

Effective Symptom Relief: Many patients report significant improvement in dry eye symptoms shortly after treatment.
Long-Lasting Results: The effects can last for several months, reducing the need for frequent artificial tears.
Quick Recovery: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

LipiFlow® is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic eye symptoms caused by MGD, especially if other treatments have not provided sufficient relief.
