LipiScan and LipiFlow for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Learn how Infinity Eye Care uses LipiScan and Lipiflow to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease caused by meibomian gland dysfunction.

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is an abnormality or blockage of the meibomian glands within the eye. When these glands are not working properly, a patient can experience a reduction of oil secreted into tears.  Tears can more rapidly evaporate and there is greater friction between the cornea and eyelids, resulting in symptoms of eye irritation.

MGD is chronic and progressive; when left untreated, the symptoms generally worsen.

Infinity Eye Care is proud to offer LipiScan and Lipiflow to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction.
