LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation
Restoring Comfort by Treating Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of dry eye disease, resulting from blocked oil glands in the eyelids that disrupt the tear film and cause irritation, dryness, and discomfort.
LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation is an advanced, in-office treatment designed to clear these blockages and restore healthy gland function.
What Is LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation?
LipiFlow® uses controlled heat and gentle pulsation to soften and express clogged meibomian glands. This process improves the quality and stability of your tear film, reducing dry eye symptoms.
The procedure is comfortable, typically takes about 12 minutes, and requires minimal downtime.
Who Is a Candidate?
Patients with moderate to severe dry eye symptoms related to meibomian gland dysfunction are ideal candidates. A thorough evaluation can determine if LipiFlow® is suitable for your condition.
What to Expect
During the treatment, a specialized device applies heat and gentle pressure to the eyelids while you relax comfortably. Many patients notice symptom improvement within weeks.
Follow-up care helps assess progress and guide any additional treatments.
