DRY EYE TREATMENT
Family Vision Center is proud to offer the latest
technology in treating Evaporative Dry Eye:
LipiFlow!
What is Evaporative Dry Eye?
Dry Eye is most commonly defined by the
quantity or quality of the tears your eyes produce.
Nine out of ten individuals suffer from
Evaporative Dry Eye. This condition is essentially
the dysfunction of the Meibomian Glands, which
are the glands that produce the oils for your eyes.
The tear oil works to keep the tears close to the
eye and prevent them from evaporating. When
the oil-producing glands are blocked, not enough
oil is produced and the tears will evaporate
faster, drying your eyes out.

The LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System is an
FDA-approved treatment procedure for
Evaporative Dry Eye. It is a thermal eyelid
massage that applies consistent and comfortable
heat to your eyelids. This heat and pulsation
pressure will massage out any blockages in your meibomian glands, so your glands can secrete oils
and provide symptom relief.
What happens during LipiFlow?
The disposable LipiFlow Activator is placed under your eyelids,
and is specially shaped to prevent contact with the cornea and
front surface of the eye. The patient is reclined and
comfortable while the Activators massage the eyelids with heat
many refer to the procedure as a spa treatment for your eyes.
Do I qualify for LipiFlow?
There are many treatments for dry eye available, and LipiFlow is just one of them. Your doctor will
determine if it is the right course of treatment for you based on many different tests and determinants.
One of these tests is LipiView, which evaluates the oil layers in your eyes.
Will my insurance cover the LipiView or the LipiFlow
treatment?
While it is FDA approved, LipiFlow is not currently covered by
insurance plans. The LipiView procedure and your Dry Eye
Evaluation may be covered by your insurance.
