What is LipiFlow?

LipiFlow® is an exciting treatment that can help you if you suffer from dry eye. It involves the use of a special device that applies thermal pulsation to your inner eyelid. This treatment heats the inner eyelid with a controlled amount of heat that cannot harm you. It is a procedure that causes little or no discomfort as it resolves a problem caused by blocked glands. Once heat is applied to the upper and lower eyelids, lipids are released into the eye, producing the moisture that has been lacking.

Why Choose LipiFlow®?

If you are struggling with dry eyes, you know how uncomfortable it can be. There are times when your eyes feel like they are on fire or you have sandpaper rubbing against your eyelids. It can make your eyes always feel like they are irritated. You can use drops to provide yourself some relief, but it won’t last. It can also get bothersome to stop what you are doing over and over again for your next dose of drops. LipiFlow® can offer you the relief that you have been craving.

Is LipiFlow® the Right Choice for You?
