DRY EYE - Treat the Cause!

Lipiflow in the treatment of Dry Eye --- soon to be highlighted on the hit TV show 'The Doctors'

Being the first Eye Care practice in New York to use both the Lipiview and Lipiflow technology (since 2011) has not only led us to best understand this incredible analysis and treatment technology, but has allowed us to help and change the lives of countless patients suffering with meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye disease.

Most dry eye patients with inflamed and/or blocked meibomian (oil secreting eyelid glands) would be good candidates for the procedure and this can easily be assessed and measured in office.

The treatment, if appropriate for you, helps prevent the evaporation of your tears, improves tear quality and thus keep good tears on the eyes surface for longer, aiding in decreasing associated inflammation, ultimately decreasing dryness and burning symptoms.

Dry eye disease is an extremely common and sometimes debilitating condition affecting approximately 28 million Americans. Up to 80% of dry eye disease is as a result of evaporative dry eye known as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

We here at Farkas, Kassalow, Resnick and Associates have had great success with the Lipiflow and have seen amazing improvements in both signs and symptoms with prolonged benefits in most patients. Patients report much improved comfort and we see significant clinical improvements related to their eyes and eyelids.

Lipiflow thermal pulsation offers a simple, quick, easy, safe, painless treatment solution for evaporative dry eye and has been shown to be significantly (2-3x) more effective then 10 minutes of diligent, warm compresses and lid massage done daily for several months.

LipiFlow is designed to treat the root cause of Evaporative Dry Eye, blocked Meibomian glands. Opening and clearing these blocked glands can allow them to resume natural production of lipids (oils) needed for a healthy tear film.

Remember to watch the TV show 'The Doctors' most likely being aired on May 6th, 2013 covering this innovative and novel solution to evaporative dry eye.
