What is LipiFlow® Dry Eye Treatment?
The LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System is the gold standard in treating the cause of evaporative dry eye disease – blocked meibomian glands. This revolutionary treatment applies a combination of mild heat and soft pressure directly to the eyelids, similar to a gentle massage. This loosens debris and stimulates lipid production.
When you visit one of our Atlantic Eye Centers for your Dry Eye Evaluation, we will conduct a series of tests to determine the cause of your dry eye symptoms. If our physicians suspect you may suffer from evaporative dry eye, we will then conduct a test using advanced LipiView(r) technology. The Lipiflow Treatment Process is a fast, painless procedure to soothe dry eye by unblocking the meibomian glands. The LipiFlow procedure is administered right here in our office, and offers sustained relief for dry eyes after just a single, 15-minute treatment.
The Atlantic Eye Centers are pleased to offer this state of the art treatment to our patients.
