LipiFlow®️ Treatment in Washington, D.C., Chevy Chase, MD, & Arlington, VA
Dry eye’s itchy, uncomfortable symptoms get in the way of your daily life, but they don’t have to. Washington Eye Doctors can help you find relief with world-class LipiFlow®!
What is LipiFlow®?
One of the most common causes of dry eye disease is meibomian gland dysfunction – when eyelid glands that produce oil become clogged. This starves your tears of oil and makes them evaporate much faster. The FDA Approved LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System utilizes therapeutic heat, paired with light pressure, to gently massage the inner lid and release blocked glands. Once oil production is restored, the lipid layer is replenished, for tears that don’t evaporate and soothed eyes.
How does LipiFlow® Work?
Dry eye patients love LipiFlow® because it’s quick to administer, with impactful and long-lasting results! We’ll first use the LipiScan imaging device to examine your meibomian glands. After we apply numbing drops to soothe any discomfort, the machine’s activators are placed over your eyes to deliver targeted thermal heat and gentle pressure to liquify gland obstructions. The entire noninvasive process only takes about 12 minutes, with some improvement right away and more over the coming weeks!
