Treat the Root Cause of Dry Eye—Not Just the Symptoms
If your eyes frequently feel dry, irritated, gritty, or tired, you may be suffering from Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), the leading cause of evaporative dry eye disease. While artificial tears can provide temporary relief, they don't address the underlying problem.
At Eye Care & Surgery, we offer LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation Treatment, an advanced, FDA-cleared therapy that helps restore your eye's natural tear function by treating blocked oil glands, providing long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
LipiFlow® Q&A
What Is LipiFlow®?
LipiFlow® is an innovative, non-surgical treatment that combines gentle therapeutic heat with pulsating massage to unclog the meibomian glands located in your eyelids. These glands produce the oils that keep your tears from evaporating too quickly.
By restoring healthy gland function, LipiFlow® helps improve tear quality, reduce dry eye symptoms, and support long-term eye comfort.
Benefits of LipiFlow®
- Treats the underlying cause of evaporative dry eye
- Opens blocked meibomian glands
- Improves the quality and stability of your natural tears
- Reduces burning, stinging, redness, and irritation
- Helps relieve fluctuating or blurry vision caused by dry eyes
- Comfortable, in-office procedure
- No surgery, injections, or downtime
- Long-lasting relief for many patients
Who Can Benefit from LipiFlow®?
LipiFlow® may be an excellent treatment option if you:
- Have chronic dry eye symptoms
- Have been diagnosed with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
- Depend on artificial tears throughout the day
- Experience burning, itching, or a gritty sensation
- Spend long hours using computers or digital devices
- Have contact lens discomfort due to dry eyes
A comprehensive dry eye evaluation will help determine whether LipiFlow® is right for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
LipiFlow® is performed in our office and usually takes about 12 minutes per eye.
During the procedure:
- Your eyes are numbed with anesthetic drops.
- A sterile, single-use device is gently placed over your eyelids.
- Controlled heat softens hardened oils inside the glands.
- Gentle pulsating pressure clears the blockages and restores normal gland function.
Most patients find the procedure comfortable and can return to normal activities immediately afterward.
Results After Treatment
Many patients begin to notice improvement within a few weeks as the meibomian glands recover and tear quality improves. While results vary, many experience significant symptom relief that can last for months.
Your ophthalmologist may recommend additional dry eye treatments or a maintenance plan to help keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.
