Mibo Thermoflo: The Way We Treat Dry Eye
The DeviceThe MiBo Thermoflo is a therapeutic medical device providing safe and effective alternative therapy for dry eyes. It uses a thermoelectric heat pump to break down the hardened meibum clogging the glands, thus allowing natural oils to be secreted and improving the preservation and function of the evaporative component of the tear film.

The PlanOver time and with a specific prescribed therapy regimen, the ducts of the meibomian glands will secrete thinner and clearer lipids which will allow for a healthier tear film. Most patients benefit from four treatments but subsequent maintenance ensures long-lasting results.

The ResultEven after just one treatment, most patients experience a noticeable improvement. The sandy, gritty feeling often associated with dry eye is replaced by a smooth and silky sensation on the eyes' surface. More importantly, the newly lubricated eye surface will lead to improved eye health and vision clarity.

Dry eye is a very common condition. It occurs when one's tears do not provide enough moisture to the eyes. Typically, patients with dry eye experience discomfort and sensitivity to light as well as red, burning, tearing, gritty, and/or itchy eyes. It can be caused by many things, including environmental factors such as air conditioning and seasonal allergies. Even prolonged computer use and certain conditions, like Sjogren's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis, can cause or exacerbate symptoms. We recommend MiBo Thermoflo to all our patients suffering from dry eye. Depending on your personalized treatment plan, the doctor might also recommend additional at-home treatments which may include artificial tears, prescription eye drops, lid scrubs, and nutritional supplements like Omega-3's.
