Evaporative Dry Eye
Your eyes feel scratchy, gritty and dry. You’ve experienced blurred vision or sensitivity to sunlight. Computer work, reading, or driving exacerbates the symptoms. If eye drops or warm compresses never seem to provide enough help, you may have a chronic condition know as Evaporative Dry Eye.
Lack of Lubrication
Your discomfort may be a result of Evaporative Dry Eye, which occurs when the water in tears evaporates faster than normal, due to an insufficient lipid (oil) layer on the tear film. This deficiency of oil may result from a blockage in the oil-producing glands in the eyelids, known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
Revolutionary Technology
In a clinical study, 79% of patients reported improved overall dry eye symptoms (ranging from 10% to 100% improvement) within four weeks of a single LipiFlow treatment. LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation technology applies heat to the inner eyelids and gentle pressure, releasing lipids from the Meibomian glands. The procedure is fast, virtually painless, and takes place right in a doctor’s office.
Find relief
Physicians equipped with the new LipiFlow technology are now located across the U.S. and Canada. They will evaluate your symptoms, tear film and gland function to determine the underlying cause of your Dry Eye symptoms. It’s important to treat this chronic disease early, to avoid permanent loss of gland function, additional cell damage, or visual deterioration. Candidates for LipiFlow can complete treatment immediately.
