Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or the quality of your tears is poor. This can lead to inflammation, discomfort, and vision problems.

We run a detailed evaluation to diagnose dry eye:
Dry Eye is a progressive disease and if left untreated, can lead to serious vision problems and complications such as eye infections and damage to the surface of the eyes. Avoiding the situations that are most likely to cause the symptoms can help you avoid Dry Eye issues. If you work on a computer or use one at home, school, or anywhere else for an extended period of time and are experiencing dry eye discomfort, it is important to seek proper eye evaluation and care.
The MiBo Thermoflo is a therapeutic medical device providing a safe and effective alternative therapy for dry eyes. It uses a proprietary thermoelectric heat pump to help maximize liquefaction of meibum, thus improving preservation and function of the evaporative component of the tear film.
The MiBo Thermoflo supplies continuous controlled heat that is applied to the outer skin of the eyelids along with ultrasound gel for a gentle massage. The heat is absorbed deep into the tissue and breaks down the hardened lipids in the meibomian glands.
For best results, it’s recommended to do 3 sittings 2 weeks apart. Evaluating the patients after the cycle of treatments may require a 4th treatment.
