Utilize LipiFlow for Your Visual Health

Treating MGD can be a challenge, yet this technological advancement relies on more than 25 years of research to deliver amazing outcomes for your eyelids. LipiFlow is a device that was specially designed to restore the Meibomian glands’ ability to produce oil and keep the eyes fully moist. This technology relies on 37 patents and is used by the most professional eye doctors across the globe. Modern advancements have made MGD procedures fast and painless, gently massaging your eyes while only taking 10 to 15 minutes.

The Leading Cause of Dry Eye

While a wide range of environmental and biological factors can play a role in your dry eye problem, a majority of patients we treat ail from a blockage in the tear ducts, blocking your body’s ability to moisten, refresh, and clean your eyeballs. Today, this common problem is now categorized as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), where the Meibomian glands in your eyes that produce essential oils for tear retention are compromised or blocked to the point that your long-term visual comfort begins to suffer. If you are constantly struggling with your dry eyes, it’s important to find a Fresno optometrist that utilizes the best technology in addition to our professional services. Our dry eye treatments are meant to be personalized to deliver the best results for your vision, and we are proud to announce that we are now a LipiFlow® dry eye clinic!

How Our Dry Eye Treatment Works

LipiFlow is a quality treatment for Dry Eye, yet it can be a challenge to find a local optometrist that is qualified to provide such services. MGD treatments such as this rely on single-use devices that are designed to sit comfortably on the eyes, delivering treatment to the Meibomian glands to restore oil production. When you come in for our dry eye services, you can expect:

Placement. Activators are placed on the eyes, with activators in direct contact with the lids while staying clear of the corneas. Our Fresno and Kerman optometrists will ensure that your fit is precise and comfortable for the best results.
Treatment. The LipiFlow machine will begin to deliver heat while placing pressure on your eyelids, relying on a Vectored Thermal Pulse (VTP) to massage gland obstructions and return normal flow procedures. Most of our patients are done in 12 minutes and report little to no discomfort at all.
Recovery. After your procedure, your dry eyes should immediately begin to see results. Normally, the best results can be expected between six and eight weeks.
