Dry Eye Relief That Lasts
If you’re living with dry, irritated eyes, you know how frustrating and disruptive it can be. LipiFlow is a modern in-office treatment designed to relieve symptoms of dry eye by treating one of its most common root causes—meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
Chronic dry eye affects millions of people and can seriously impact your comfort, focus, and quality of life. LipiFlow is a treatment that targets the root cause of dry eye, rather than just masking its symptoms.
We want you to enjoy lasting relief, without relying solely on drops, warm compresses, or short-term fixes. Contact us to schedule your consultation today to get started!
How LipiFlow Works
At See & Be Seen Eyecare, we strongly believe in LipiFlow.
Dr. Patel was one of the first optometrists in North America to adopt LipiFlow and has treated thousands of patients with this technology. Our team combines deep experience with personalized care to help make your treatment safe, comfortable, and effective.

Understanding LipiFlow
LipiFlow uses gentle heat and therapeutic pressure to unclog the meibomian glands that line your eyelids, which are responsible for producing the oils in your tear film. When these glands become blocked, your tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, irritation, and blurred vision.
By helping your eyes produce quality tears naturally, LipiFlow targets the source of dry eye for lasting comfort.
LipiFlow is:
- Recommended every 9–12 months for ongoing relief
- Noninvasive and drug-free
- Only takes about 12 minutes per eye
- Helps reduce reliance on artificial tears and compresses
What to Expect from LipiFlow
LipiFlow is a comfortable, in-office procedure designed with your convenience in mind. During your treatment:
- A small activator is gently placed on the inside of your eyelids
- The surface of your eye is never touched
- You’ll feel a warm, light pressure as the device massages your eyelids
- Treatment takes about 12–15 minutes total
Most patients describe the sensation as relaxing, some even compare it to a warm eye massage.
FAQs About LipiFlow
How long does treatment take?
LipiFlow is performed in-office and usually takes around 12–15 minutes.
How long do results last?
Many patients experience significant relief for up to 9–12 months after just one treatment. We recommend annual sessions for continued comfort.
Are there side effects?
Although side effects are rare and minimal, there can occasionally be burning, stinging, redness, or inflammation. Before your treatment, we will go over all the details with you.
Is LipiFlow painful?
Most patients who participated in a clinical study rated their discomfort as 1.4 on a scale of 1 to 10. That translates to being aware of the gentle heat and pressure without feeling uncomfortable.
