LipiFlow

Lipiflow: Relieving Dry Eyes

LipiFlow is a thermal pulsation treatment that combines heat and mechanical massage to unblock and stimulate the meibomian glands. LipiFlow is an external treatment; there is no need for surgery or injections. The device is applied to the closed eyelids, and patients remain comfortable throughout the procedure. The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes.


What are the benefits

Lipiflow is recommend for patients with glands that show blockages. Many people call Lipiflow an oil change for your eyes. Benefits include:

  • Improved tear quality: By improving the function of the meibomian glands, LipiFlow helps to restore the oil component of the tear film, which reduces evaporation and enhances tear stability.

  • Long-Lasting Results: Many patients experience symptom relief for several months following the treatment.

  • Non-invasive: Unlike other treatments that may involve medications, drops, or surgery, LipiFlow is a relatively comfortable and straightforward procedure
