Evaporative dry eye
Evaporative dry eye from Meibomian Gland Disease is becoming increasingly common. A variety of treatments are available. Surgeons at prakash eye hospital & laser Centre have considerable expertise in this area and also have available LipiFlow to treat Meibomian Gland Disease.
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Evaporative Dry Eye disease are real and common conditions that affect vision and quality of life. Unfortunately, since we haven’t been able to easily observe the underlying physiology of dry eye disease, it’s been difficult to identify and treat effectively – leaving sufferers frustrated and unable to find long-term relief for dry eye symptoms.

Treatment
Treatment of Evaporative Dry Eye involves opening the blocked eyelid glands by applying a combination of localized heat therapy and pressure. Previous approaches – such as the use of hot compresses – have been inconvenient and of limited effectiveness and a chore for patients.
The LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System effectively relieves blockage of the eyelid glands during an in-office treatment. Opening the blocked eyelid glands allows the body to resume the natural production of lipids (oils) needed for the tear film
