MiBo Thermoflo – Advanced Treatment for Dry Eye Relief
We’re excited to offer MiBo Thermoflo, a cutting-edge treatment for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and Ocular Surface Disease (OSD).
What is Ocular Surface Disease?
Ocular surface disease (OSD) is a condition that affects the health and comfort of the eyes, often causing them to feel dry, irritated, and tired. At the root of this issue are the meibomian glands, small but essential components located along the edges of your eyelids. These glands secrete oils that form a protective layer over the tear film, preventing tears from evaporating too quickly and keeping your eyes moist and comfortable.
When these glands become blocked or don’t function properly, a condition known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) develops. This leads to a shortage of oil in the tear film, causing tears to evaporate faster than they should, resulting in dry, gritty and uncomfortable eyes.
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent dry, gritty, or burning eyes
- Blurred vision or eye strain
- Sensitivity to light
- A feeling of something in the eye
- Discomfort while wearing contact lenses
Managing MGD and ocular surface disease often starts with at-home remedies. Warm compresses followed by gentle lid massage can soften the oils in the meibomian glands, making it easier for them to flow. Over-the-counter artificial tears can also offer temporary relief by adding moisture to the eyes. However, for those who need more effective, long-lasting relief, in-office treatments like MiBo Thermoflo are highly recommended.
How MiBo Thermoflo Works:
MiBo Thermoflo is a non-invasive treatment that combines continuous, controlled heat with a gentle ultrasound gel massage applied to the outer eyelids. The heat penetrates deep into the tissue, softening and melting the hardened oils in the meibomian glands. This process helps to unblock the glands, restore the natural flow of oils to the tear film, and stabilize it. As a result, you experience improved lubrication, enhanced moisture, and lasting relief from dry eye symptoms. The treatment is painless, relaxing, and offers a soothing, spa-like experience.
Key Benefits of MiBo Thermoflo:
- Continuous, controlled heat for deeper, more effective treatment
- No pain, no downtime, and no side effects
- Helps relieve eye strain, irritation, and discomfort
Who Can Benefit from MiBo Thermoflo?
MiBo Thermoflo is perfect for those experiencing chronic dry eye, MGD, or contact lens discomfort. If at-home therapies like warm compresses or artificial tears haven’t provided sufficient relief, MiBo Thermoflo could be the effective solution you need.
Recommended Treatment Plan:
For optimal results, we recommend 4 sessions of MiBo Thermoflo spaced 2 weeks apart. This helps restore the function of the meibomian glands and maintain the health of your ocular surface. Maintenance sessions can be scheduled as needed to ensure continued comfort and healthy tear production.
By addressing the root cause of dry eyes—blocked meibomian glands—MiBo Thermoflo provides long-lasting relief, clearer vision, and improved eye comfort.
