Lipiflow Dry Eye Treatment
Relieve Dry Eye Discomfort with Advanced Lipiflow Treatment
What Is Lipiflow Treatment?
A Breakthrough Solution for Dry Eye Relief
LipiFlow therapy is an advanced FDA-approved procedure designed to address the root cause of dry eye syndrome—meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). This non-invasive therapy uses gentle heat and pressure to clear blockages in the meibomian glands, restoring the natural flow of oils needed for a healthy tear film. By targeting the underlying issue, the treatment provides long-lasting relief from dry, irritated eyes.
How Lipiflow Treatment Works
This in-office procedure takes about 12 minutes per eye. Using a specialized device, controlled heat is applied to the inner eyelids while gentle massage helps clear blockages in the meibomian glands. This process allows the glands to function properly again, improving tear quality and reducing dry eye symptoms. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure and can return to normal activities immediately.
Benefits of Lipiflow Treatment
What to Expect After Lipiflow Treatment
Many patients notice improvements in their dry eye symptoms within a few weeks after the treatment, though full results can take up to 6-8 weeks. The effects can last for months, and in some cases, periodic retreatment may be recommended for ongoing relief. Because it addresses the underlying cause of MGD, this procedure helps protect long-term eye health and vision clarity.
Is Lipiflow Treatment Right for You?
If you suffer from persistent dry eye symptoms such as irritation, redness, blurred vision, or a gritty sensation, this treatment may be an effective solution. A comprehensive eye exam can determine if meibomian gland dysfunction is contributing to your symptoms and whether this therapy is the best option for you.
