The problem of dry eyes is very common which may further aggravate due to allergen factors. Many people who suffer from dry eyes in Mohali have no idea about the real cause behind the same. Although many treatments are available for dry eyes, only a few could easily treat the problem. The latest breakthrough in the treatment for dry eyes is the LipiFlow treatment.
Understanding LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System
The LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation system is a medical device that helps treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. Medical professionals, these days, are relying more & more on this system for treating patients with dry eyes. The device provides repeated and controllable heat & compression to the Meibomian glands and your eyelids. The palpebral conjunctival tissues receive heat from the device which massages the glands in the direction of the gland orifices. Because of this device, patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction could easily wear the contact lenses for longer.
Treatment with LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System
- Your ophthalmologist will use the LipiScan device to evaluate the condition of your Meibomian Glands. The device will help your doctor form a correct diagnosis of the condition and plan the treatment.
- Once the doctor gets a confirmed diagnosis, he or she will plan a LipiFlow treatment for you.
- The doctor will put numbing drops in your eyes before starting the treatment so that you don’t experience discomfort.
- The system comes with activators that your doctor will place on your eyes. The shape of the activators helps to protect your eye corneas at the time of treatment.
- The activators use Thermal Pulsation technology to send heat into your eyelids. The blockages get clear due to the pressure and heat with the use of this technology.
- This helps to eliminate the symptoms of dry eyes and clear any blockages you may have.
How soon can I see the results after LipiFlow?
The results after the LipiFlow treatment may vary for each patient depending upon their problem severity. Some patients may experience results within a few days after the treatment. Many other patients who had severe problems may take up to 2 weeks to witness the results. In some cases, the patients need to wait a little longer than this to see the results. Your doctor might better be able to tell you how soon you can expect the results.
