Dry Eye Treatment
Lipiflow is used to treat dry eye disease caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). This condition occurs when the tiny Meibomian glands found in the eyelids are blocked. When the glands are blocked, they cannot produce the component of tears that protect the tear film that covers the outer surface of the eye. You have about 25 to 40 meibomian glands in the upper eyelid and 20 to 30 in the lower eyelid.
