“Dry eye is a common patient problem, and it’s one that shouldn’t be ignored,” said Dr. J.D. Bonner of Complete Eye Care. “We are pleased to offer LipiFlow to help those with meibomian gland dysfunction.
“We know that many therapies provide limited relief. However, LipiFlow addresses the underlying cause for those with meibomian gland dysfunction so they can have sustained improvement.”
Patients who are experiencing eye dryness, irritation, light sensitivity, vision fluctuations, contact lens intolerance and eye fatigue may be candidates for LipiFlow. Bonner said that of the millions of people in the U.S. who suffer from dry eye, a majority have evaporative dry eye, which stems from a deficiency in the oily lipid layer of the eye’s tear film. The lipid deficiency is due to blockages in the meibomian glands, located in the eyelids.
“The lipids serve to protect the water (aqueous) layer of tears so that the tears do not evaporate too quickly,” he explained.
