What is LipiFlow®, and How Does It Work?
LipiFlow® is a safe and effective treatment that uses thermal pulsation technology to gently warm and massage your eyelids. This process:
- Unblocks meibomian glands responsible for producing the oil layer of your tears
- Restores natural tear flow for enhanced eye comfort
- Relieves symptoms such as burning, itching, and a gritty sensation
Why Choose LipiFlow® for Dry Eye Treatment?
LipiFlow® stands apart from traditional treatments by targeting the root cause of evaporative dry eye, the leading cause of chronic dryness and irritation. Key benefits include:
- Long-lasting relief from dryness, irritation, and blurred vision
- Non-invasive procedure with no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately
- Clinically proven results in improving gland function and tear quality
The LipiFlow® Procedure: What to Expect
Comprehensive Dry Eye Evaluation
- We begin with a detailed dry eye assessment. This includes advanced diagnostic imaging to evaluate the health and function of your meibomian glands.
- One of our eye doctors will discuss your symptoms and determine if LipiFlow® is the most suitable treatment option.
Comfortable In-Office Procedure
- The LipiFlow® device gently warms the inner eyelids while applying gentle pressure to massage and clear gland blockages during the treatment.
- The process is quick, taking only 12 minutes, and is relaxing and pain-free.
Post-Treatment Results and Recovery
- Most patients experience a noticeable improvement in dry eye symptoms within two to four weeks after treatment.
- The effects are long-lasting, and with proper eye care, patients can maintain relief for up to 12 months or more.
