LipiScan™ to Manage Dry Eye
Advanced Technology in Morrisville, NC
The LipiScan™ Dynamic Meibomian Imager at Triangle Family Eye Care, is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to assess the health of your meibomian glands with unparalleled precision. This advanced technology enables our eye care professionals to identify and address the root causes of dry eye syndrome effectively.
Understanding Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
Meibomian glands, located in your eyelids, secrete essential oils that form the outer layer of your tear film, preventing rapid evaporation. When these glands become blocked or dysfunctional—a condition known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)—it can lead to symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and blurred vision.
How LipiScan Works
The LipiScan device utilizes near-infrared illumination to capture high-definition images of your meibomian glands. This quick, non-invasive procedure takes approximately one minute to image both lower eyelids, providing our specialists with detailed visuals to evaluate gland structure and function.
With this information, we can tailor treatment plans to your specific needs, addressing MGD at its source.
