LIPIFLOW® Dry Eye Treatment in Palm Beach, FL
FDA CLEARED AND PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE IN CLINICAL STUDIES
LipiFlow® uses vectored thermal pulsating eyepieces known as Activators. LipiFlow® Activators are precisely designed to provide necessary inner and outer lid contact to properly apply heat and massage and evacuate the meibomian glands. The entire treatment takes approximately 12 minutes.
The clinical science behind MGD as the primary cause of dry eye and its treatment is supported by over 25 years of scientific research. Removal of the gland blockages is essential to improve gland function and reduce the progression of MGD. Over time after treatment, the meibomian glands may become blocked again because of continued evaporative stress, which is caused by infrequent blinking from modern lifestyles and leads to thickening of the gland secretions and blockage of oil production.
LipiFlow® Treatment
LipiFlow® is a 12 minute treatment that is the only FDA cleared treatment using thermal pulsating heat to remove blockages in the Meibomian glands.
When the Vectored Thermal Pulse (VTPTM) LipiFlow® treatment is properly applied, the heat and gentle massaging action evacuate the blockages from the glands, allowing the glands to resume oil production. You and your eye care professional can determine how often LipiFlow® should be repeated based on evaluation of your gland function and structure over time.
