Lasting Relief from Chronic Dry Eye
Dry Eye / LipiFlow®
Advanced diagnostic and thermal pulsation treatment for persistent dry eye syndrome.
About Dry Eye / LipiFlow®
If artificial tears provide only temporary relief and your eyes feel constantly irritated, gritty, or tired — you may have meibomian gland dysfunction, the root cause of most chronic dry eye. LipiFlow® can restore normal gland function and provide lasting relief.
Dry eye disease affects more than 16 million Americans and is one of the most common — and most under-treated — conditions in eye care. At Giliberti Eye & Laser Center, we take a diagnostic-first approach: using LipiView® II meibomian gland imaging, tear osmolarity testing, and ocular surface staining to identify the exact cause of your dry eye before recommending treatment. For meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) — the leading cause of evaporative dry eye — we offer LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation, the only FDA-cleared device that treats the root cause of MGD with a single in-office treatment.

Your Journey to Better Vision
Dry Eye Evaluation
We perform a comprehensive dry eye workup: LipiView® II gland imaging shows the health of your meibomian glands; TearLab® measures tear osmolarity; and slit-lamp examination assesses the ocular surface.
Identifying Your Dry Eye Type
Aqueous-deficient dry eye (not enough tears) and evaporative dry eye (poor tear quality from MGD) require different treatments. Accurate diagnosis leads to effective therapy.
LipiFlow® Treatment
A sterile activator is placed on each eye. Over 12 minutes, precise controlled heat and gentle pressure clear blocked meibomian glands — restoring natural oil flow to the tear film.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
Most patients notice improvement within 2–4 weeks; full effect at 3 months. We recommend annual LipiFlow® treatments and ongoing supportive therapy for best long-term outcomes.
