Introducing Lipiview & Lipiflow System for Eyes Analysis & Management at Doctor Eye Institute
Lipi-View Dry Eye Test Device
In most cases, Dry Eye symptoms are caused by blockages in the tiny meibomian glands in your eyelids. When these glands are not functioning properly, it’s called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). Are you aware that 86% of those diagnosed with Dry Ryes have symptoms caused by MGD?
LipiView uses a special digital image of your eye that allows our doctors to see and measure the lipid layer of your tear film. Looking at the pictures of your glands we will be able to determine whether you have Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. (MGD)
LipiView is a standard eye examination procedure that provides a proper diagnosis, helping the eye doctor to decide whether the patient will need a LipiFlow procedure or must undergo other Dry Eye treatment in mumbai.
Treating MGD with LipiFlow
LipiFlow is the only electronic device cleared by the US (FDA) for the treatment of (MGD)
LipiFlow was designed to minimize patient discomfort during a 12-minute in-clinic treatment that most patients describe as a gently massaging of the eyelids. It is specifically designed for effectively removing blockages from the meibomian glands in the eye allowing them to function properly. When LipiFlow treatment is properly applied, the glands can resume normal oil production which protects the top lipid layer of the tear film.
If you have suffered from Dry Eye symptoms, it is highly likely you have MGD and the long-term effects can lead to permanent damage. If you need Dry Eye treatment in mumbai, get in touch Dry Eye clinic in mumbai at Doctor Eye Institute.
