Finding an effective treatment for dry eye can be difficult for the sheer number of people struggling with this common condition. Dry eye syndrome can affect a wide variety of people with causes ranging from genetic to environmental. Dr. Kornmehl understands how frustrating it can be to suffer from the condition and is excited to offer this revolutionary treatment to his patients. LipiFlow treats the root cause of dry eye instead of the symptoms. It is well-tolerated and nearly 80 percent of patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms.

The LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System unblocks the meibomian glands so that they can produce oil and keep the eyes moist. LipiFlow delivers a combination of localized heat and pressure to both the upper and lower eyelids, causing the body to resume the natural production of lubrication. It is able to accomplish this without affecting the delicate structures of the eyes, including the lids. A LipiFlow treatment session lasts about 12 minutes per eye, during which patients report feeling only slight pressure. Patients may resume normal activities immediately following the procedure and most notice an instant relief of their dry eye symptoms.
