There are two main forms of Dry Eye disease. Are you treating the right one? Meibomian Gland Dysfunction or Evaporative Dry Eye is a real disease that can affect vision and quality of life. If left untreated, the disease can worsen. Unfortunately, the underlying cause of dry eye disease has been difficult to identify and treat effectively -- leaving sufferers frustrated and unable to find long-term relief for dry eye symptoms. Now, with breakthrough technology, it's possible to treat a root cause of Evaporative Dry Eye: a blockage of eyelid glands called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. These blocked eyelid glands result in a deficiency in the tear film oil, which is responsible for preventing the tears from evaporating too quickly. This condition results in dry eye discomfort that can affect the ability to lead a normal lifestyle. If you have blocked eyelid glands and Evaporative Dry Eye, there's a clinically-proven treatment performed in your doctor's office that has the potential to help reduce your dry eye discomfort by treating a root cause of the problem. As many as 86% of patients with Dry Eye symptoms have Meibomian Gland Dysfunction With the recent introduction of the LipiView®, physicians now have a new tool to observe the tear film on the surface of your eye using digital images. A LipiView image of the tear film can be captured during a non-invasive in-office exam that takes about 5 minutes.The tear film can be seen as an array of colors called specular observations that are relected when a controlled light source is directed towards the front surface of the eye. Effective treatment. With LipiFlow®, treat the cause of Evaporative Dry Eye Treatment of Evaporative Dry Eye involves relieving obstructions of blocked eyelid glands by applying a combination of localized heat therapy and pressure. Previous approaches, such as the use of warm compresses, can be inconvenient and of limited effectiveness. The LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System is used by your doctor to apply a heat and pressure therapy to adults that experience chronic cystic conditions of the eyelids including Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, also known as Evaporative Dry Eye. The LipiFlow® System is a significant technological shift in evaporative dry eye treatment, effectively relieving blockage of the eyelid glands during an in-office treatment. Opening the blocked eyelid glands allows the body to resume the natural production of lipids (oils) needed for the tear film.The LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System is a clinically-proven procedure that can be performed right in your doctor's office. In a clinical study, most patients (79%) who had the LipiFlow® treatment reported improvement of their dry eye symptoms within four weeks. The average total Meibomian gland score for patients who received a single LipiFlow® treatment more than doubled from 6.3 ± 3.5 at the baseline to 16.7 ± 8.7 at 4 weeks. The increase in the average total meibomian score indicates an increase in the number of glands secreting and a higher quality of gland secretions as compared to before LipiFlow treatment.
