When conventional treatments for dry eye disease fall short, it’s time to consider a solution that addresses the root cause of your discomfort. LipiFlow dry eye treatment at Cliffside Eye is the gold standard for treating Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), the primary cause of evaporative dry eye. Under Dr. Levine’s expert care, our patients benefit from advanced, FDA-approved technology, personalized attention, and the warm, family-like care that defines the Cliffside Eye experience in Cliffside Park, NJ.
LipiFlow – An Advanced Solution For Dry Eye Disease
What Is LipiFlow Dry Eye Treatment?
LipiFlow is an FDA-cleared treatment that targets your eye’s tiny, oil-producing glands by applying therapeutic warmth (108.5°F) to your inner eyelids while simultaneously delivering soothing pulsations to your outer eyelids. This combination clears blockages, allowing vital oils to mix with your tears and form the protective outer layer of your tear film, which is essential for eye comfort and clarity.
Why Do Meibomian Glands Become Blocked?
These glands can become blocked due to thickened or poor-quality oil, chronic inflammation, or debris that’s accumulated at the gland’s opening. When clogged, the oils can’t reach the tear film, causing your tears to evaporate too quickly. Eventually, this can mean dealing with ongoing dryness, irritation, fluctuating vision, and that bothersome gritty or burning feeling.
5 Key Benefits of LipiFlow Dry Eye Treatment
1. Restores Moisture Balance & Reduces Symptoms.
At Cliffside Eye, we start with a comprehensive dry eye assessment, using specialized imaging technology (LipiScan or Meibography) to evaluate your gland structure and function. This diagnostic precision allows Dr. Levine to verify that you’re a candidate for LipiFlow and develop a personalized treatment approach that restores your eyes’ natural moisture balance and reduces symptoms at their source. Many patients are surprised to see their gland imaging and finally understand why at-home remedies haven’t worked.
2. Long-Lasting Dry Eye Relief.
Clinical studies show that LipiFlow dry eye treatment can provide relief for 6-12 months or longer after just one treatment session with minimal side effects. Our patients notice big changes within 2-4 weeks, with ongoing benefits that help you rely less on daily eye drops and/or constant symptom management.
3. Quick and Comfortable Procedure.
Your LipiFlow treatment takes approximately 12 minutes per eye, with your full appointment lasting about 45 minutes in our state-of-the-art Cliffside Park facility. Dr. Levine and our specialized technicians ensure your comfort throughout the process, with most patients describing the sensation as a gentle warmth or soothing eyelid massage that’s more comfortable than a dental cleaning.
4. Non-Invasive, Safe & No Downtime.
Choosing LipiFlow means choosing a safe, non-invasive path to dry eye relief. It’s an in-office procedure with no surgery, no stitches, and crucially, no downtime. You’re free to resume your normal activities right away. Dr. Levine’s extensive experience means you’re in expert hands; he’s safely delivered successful LipiFlow treatments to hundreds of patients. Plus, our advanced LipiFlow system uses single-use activators specifically designed to fit your eye anatomy, guaranteeing optimal treatment delivery and enhanced safety.

By properly restoring tear film stability and reducing chronic irritation, LipiFlow is clinically proven to improve both tear film quality and eye hydration. This means you can see and feel your best, whether you’re reading, working on digital devices, or enjoying outdoor activities without constant discomfort. Our patients regularly report less redness, burning, and blurred vision, leading to greater comfort, productivity, and renewed confidence.
