LipiFlow

LipiFlow is designed to treat Evaporative Dry Eye, considered the most common type of Dry Eye Disease. Evaporative Dry Eye occurs due to an inflammation of the meibomian glands, causing them to become clogged or blocked. This prevents the natural production of oils (or lipids) your eye needs to maintain healthy tear film. Without these oils, your tears can evaporate faster than they’re produced causing dry eye symptoms.

How It Works: LipiFlow treatment takes only a few minutes. It’s simple, painless, and performed in our office. Here, LipiFlow’s Thermal Pulsation System applies heat to your inner eyelid with gentle pressure to unclog blocked meibomian glands, designed to minimize symptoms for an extended period. Dry Eye Institutes of America™ is one of the first to offer LipiFlow in Dallas/Fort Worth.

Which Dry Eye Treatment Is Best? This depends on your condition and diagnosis. Our doctors can pinpoint the advantages of one or more treatments related to your condition, help you understand why a treatment is prescribed, and how it works.
