Our Lipiflow Dry Eye Treatment
LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation has brought lasting relief for many. Our ground-breaking technology comes from acknowledged dry eyes treatment experts TearScience®.
The fact that we address the cause not just the symptoms is what has helped so many men and women reduce or eliminate suffering and lead normal lives.
The first step is to determine if you are indeed suffering from dry eye disease. Your doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation using a brief questionnaire to determine the likely cause of your dry eye symptoms.
This dry eye lifestyle assessment allows your LipiFlow treatment provider to understand how your eyes feel on a daily basis.If the assessment indicates that your dry eyes symptoms are beyond mild, we will use LipiView®to evaluate the lipid (oil) layer on your eyes. It takes detailed images of your eye’s tear film to determine whether or not you have Evaporative Dry Eye caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
Once confirmed, we will use the advanced LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System for opening and clearing blocked glands. This allows the body to resume the natural production of lipids (oils) needed for the tear film.
