Lipiflow

At Dimensions Eye & Aesthetics, we proudly offer LipiFlow®, a state-of-the-art treatment designed to provide long-lasting relief for dry eye. Unlike traditional methods that focus on masking symptoms—such as eye drops or supplements—LipiFlow targets the root cause of dry eye by addressing blockages in the meibomian glands. This innovative, drug-free treatment is both safe and effective.

What Causes Dry Eye?

Dry eye is often caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). These glands produce the essential oils that create the protective layer of your tear film. When the meibomian glands are blocked, they fail to produce enough oil, leading to an unstable tear film, which causes the eyes to dry out.

Without proper lubrication, your eyes become more sensitive to:

• Excessive screen use (reading, TV, computer work)
• Dry or windy climates
• Air conditioning or heating systems

These environmental factors can worsen dry eye symptoms, leading to irritation, burning, stinging, and blurred vision.

How does LipiFlow work?

LipiFlow® is designed to treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction directly. This technology combines gentle heat and pressure to clear blockages and restore the natural flow of oils in the tear film.

The treatment process includes:

• Gentle Heat: Controlled thermal pulses are applied to the inner and outer eyelids, melting the trapped oils within the glands.
• Pulsating Pressure: A light massage helps to clear blockages and stimulate the meibomian glands.
• Restored Oil Production: Once the glands are unblocked, they resume natural oil production, stabilizing the tear film and reducing dry eye symptoms.

Key Benefits of LipiFlow

• Quick and Non-Invasive: The procedure takes about 12 minutes per eye and can be done in a single office visit.
• Long-Lasting Relief: By addressing the underlying cause of dry eye, LipiFlow provides more sustained results than traditional treatments.
• Comfortable and Safe: LipiFlow is a painless treatment that targets only the eyelids, leaving the rest of your eye structure unaffected.

Is LipiFlow Safe?

At Dimensions Eye & Aesthetics, your safety and comfort are our highest priorities. LipiFlow applies controlled heat and gentle pressure only to the eyelids, ensuring that the rest of your eye remains protected. Our skilled team ensures the treatment is performed with precision and care, making it a safe, non-invasive option for long-term dry eye relief.
