Suffering from Dry Eye?
Are your eyes constantly dry, itchy, or burning? You might be one of the millions of Americans suffering from Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) — the leading cause of dry eye. MGD occurs when the tiny Meibomian glands in your eyelids become blocked, preventing them from protecting the tear film, a crucial layer that keeps your eyes lubricated.
Did You Know?
- Over 30 million Americans have dry eye, and a majority of these cases are caused by MGD.
- Symptoms include persistent dryness, irritation, and even blurred vision.
Are You at Risk?

- Individuals Living in High Heat or Dry Climates
- People with Hormonal Imbalances
- Heavy users of digital devices like computers and smartphones
- Chronic Allergy Sufferers
- Frequent Travelers
- People with Autoimmune Disorders

Introducing LipiFlow®
Imagine a treatment that can unblock your Meibomian glands and relieve your dry eye symptoms in just 12 minutes. LipiFlow® is that breakthrough solution, designed to treat MGD right at its source.
One LipiFlow® treatment can be compared to applying artificial tear drops multiple times a day over several months. While artificial tears temporarily relieve symptoms by lubricating the eye, LipiFlow® addresses the root cause of dry eye (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction) by clearing blockages in the Meibomian glands, potentially providing more lasting relief with a single 12-minute treatment.
How LipiFlow® Works:
- Step 1: Establish a Treatment Plan with Your Primary Eye Care Provider – We believe that the best results come from a comprehensive approach. Speak with your primary eye care provider to develop an initial treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Your primary eye care provider will assess your condition and determine if LipiFlow® is the right next step.
- Step 2: Quick and Comfortable Treatment – Once your treatment plan is established, LipiFlow® uses gentle heat and pressure to clear blockages in your glands. The entire procedure takes just 12 minutes.
- Step 3: Minimal Disruption – The treatment is non-invasive, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately afterward.
- Step 4: Optimized Results – Many patients notice improvement within weeks, with full results appearing in 6-8 weeks.
