Meibomian  Gland  Dysfunction (MGD)

Meibomian Glands: Anatomy of Dry Eye
Healthy Meibomian glands secrete oil with every blink. This oil, or lipid, serves as a critical component of a healthy tear film. When the glands are not functioning properly, it is called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). MGD is a leading cause of Dry Eye and can be the source of dry eye symptoms, such as burning, stinging, and itching.

Computer users tend to primarily suffer from this type of dry eye the most.

Designed to Improve Gland Function
The TearScience® LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System, is a medical device used to treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). It consists of a Console and a single-use sterile device, known as the Activator, and has a drug-free mechanism of action.  Lipiflow is FDA approved for treatment of MGD.   Chino Hills Eyecare uses the TearScience® LipiFlow® System to treat MGD patients in-office with confidence and efficiency. Many of our patients that have ben using eyedrops fruitlessly have enjoyed the benefits of this treatment and felt relief unattainable with standard artificial tears.

The TearScience® LipiFlow® System represents more than 10 years of dedicated research and is protected by more than 30 patents. A phased pressure profile with adaptive force equalization and proximal-to-distal peristaltic motion evacuates gland contents as the inner lid is gently heated.
How the TearScience® LipiFlow® System Works
  • The procedure centers around the breakthrough Vector Thermal Pulse Technology (VTP)
  • After an initial anesthetic drop, no drugs are required for the procedure
  • The TearScience® LipiFlow® system safely delivers heat and pressure to the meibomian glands while protecting the delicate structures of the patient’s eye
  • As a result, the obstructed meibum is liquefied and pushed up and out of the gland orifices
  • Contoured design vaults the cornea and protects the eye
  • Heat and pressure are regulated with redundant sensors
