Treatment Plan for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction:

MiBo Thermoflo helps break down hardened lipids to unclog the meibomian glands and allows for a thinner, clearer meibum secretion.

For best results, we recommend 4 sessions of MiBo Thermoflo, spaced 2 weeks apart.  This will lessen the dependence on artificial tears and have a more lasting symptomatic improvement.

At-Home Therapies:

Keep the eyelids clean with Ocusoft lid wipes.

Apply a warm compress for 5-10 minutes every day. Our recommended brand is the Bruder  Moist Heat Eye Compress.
 

Meibomian gland dysfunction is a common cause of evaporative dry eye. Oil based artificial tears help prevent the evaporation of the tear layer. Opt for Ocusoft Retaine MGD or Refresh Optive Mega 3.

 

Omega-3 supplementation is also recommended. We recommend Nordic Naturals ProOmega and PRN De3.
