WHAT IS DRY EYE?
A dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your tears aren’t able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. It may be due to an inadequate quantity of tears or poor quality of tears. You may commonly experience dry eyes in certain situations, such as on an airplane, in an air-conditioned room, while riding a bike, or after looking at a computer screen for a long time.
Treatments for dry eyes have traditionally been mainly lifestyle changes, eye drops, and other treatment methods that offer temporary relief. You’ll likely need to take these measures indefinitely to control the symptoms of dry eyes.
Lipiflow Dry Eye Treatment is a new treatment performed in your doctor’s office designed to remove blockages from the Meibomian glands, allowing them to properly function and produce the oil that makes up the lipid layer of the tear film. Sight Avenue offers the best services for lipiflow dry eye treatment in Delhi at an affordable and cost-effective price range.

DRY EYE TREATMENT OPTIONS
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT EYEDROPS
Eye drops used for the treatment of dry eye are tear supplements and ointments which have to be used repeatedly sometimes even more than 6-8 times a day making it uncomfortable to use and leading to high non-compliance. The tear supplements usually provide only temporary symptomatic relief and not a cure. For mild to moderate dry eye symptoms, these might be enough if you are compliant.
LIPIFLOW DRY EYES TREATMENT
LipiFlow is a Thermal Pulsation System designed to treat Evaporative Dry Eye by unblocking the Meibomian Glands that produce the lipid (oil) layer of our tear film. This innovative technology works by applying warm heat to the inside of the eyelid near the blocked glands while simultaneously providing a gentle massage to the outside of the eyelid. This combination of heat and applied pressure opens the Meibomian Glands, allowing them to secrete the blocked oil. Once this procedure is completed, the glands resume the natural production of tear film oil and most patients experience symptom relief almost immediately. Since Meibomian Gland Dysfunction is a chronic condition, most patients will need to repeat the LipiFlow treatment 2-3 yearly. We provide Lipiflow Treatment in Delhi.
LIPIFLOW® – THE REVOLUTIONARY TREATMENT FOR DRY EYE
LipiFlow treatment uses localized heat and pressure therapy on the lids to remove blockages from the Meibomian glands, allowing them to properly produce the protective lipid layer of the tear film. Lipiflow is supported by more than 30 patents with studies demonstrating its safe & effective results. It is designed to minimize patient discomfort during a 12-minute treatment that gently massages the eyelids.
The procedure of the flowdry eye treatment
Lipiflow activators deliver a combination of heat to the inner lids and simultaneous therapeutic motion to the outer lids removing blockages from the Meibomian glands, thereby resuming normal oil or lipid production which is essential for a healthy tear film, stable vision, and ocular comfort.
