Thermal Pulsation - Accuvision Dry Eye

LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System is an FDA-cleared, in-office treatment designed specifically to treat the underlying cause of MGD.

It works by applying:

- Controlled heat to the inner eyelids to soften and melt thickened oils
- Gentle pulsating pressure to massage and clear blockages in the meibomian glands By restoring gland function, LipiFlow helps stabilize your tear film and provides long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.

1. Evaluation – Dr. Ruchita Shah will assess your meibomian gland health and dry eye severity.
2. Treatment – Single-use applicators are placed on your eyelids for comfort and hygiene. Controlled heat is applied to the inner eyelid surface while gentle pressure is delivered externally to unblock glands.
3. Duration – A full treatment takes about 12 minutes for both eyes.
4. Aftercare – There is little to no downtime. Most patients resume daily activities right after treatment.

- Fast, Effective Relief: Many patients begin noticing improvement within a few weeks.
