Keamy, M.D., M.B.A., a board-certified ophthalmologist and a distinguished member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, leads our expert team in providing cutting-edge treatments like LipiFlow®. With Dr. Keamy’s extensive expertise and commitment to patient care, we are proud to offer this innovative solution to help patients find long-lasting relief from MGD and chronic dry eye discomfort.

How Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Impacts Your Eyes

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction occurs when the oil-producing glands in the eyelids become blocked or fail to secrete enough oil to maintain a stable tear film. This imbalance can lead to rapid evaporation of tears, causing dry eye symptoms such as:

  • Grittiness or a sandy feeling in the eyes
  • Burning, itching, or redness
  • Light sensitivity
  • Blurred vision

Without proper treatment, MGD can worsen over time, causing increased discomfort and potential damage to the eye’s surface.

How LipiFlow Works

LipiFlow is a revolutionary dry eye treatment that targets the root cause of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. LipiFlow unclogs the blocked glands using thermal pulsation technology, allowing them to produce and release oil naturally.

What to Expect During Treatment:

  • Quick and Comfortable: The procedure takes just 12 minutes per eye and is performed in the office.
  • Non-Invasive: LipiFlow uses a gentle combination of heat and pulsation to clear blockages without any downtime.
  • Clinically Proven Results: Many patients report significant relief from dry eye symptoms within days of treatment.

LipiFlow not only relieves symptoms but also promotes long-term eye health by restoring the natural function of the meibomian glands.
