LipiFlow® Treatment for Dry Eyes in Northfield & Long Grove, IL

Do your eyes feel constantly dry, gritty, or irritated? You’re not alone. At Midwest Dry Eye Center, we understand the impact of chronic dry eye and are proud to offer LipiFlow®, an advanced treatment designed to target the root cause: meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). By targeting blocked meibomian glands that limit natural tear production, LipiFlow® provides long-lasting relief so you can get back to your day without discomfort.

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
