LipiView is an innovative, digital imaging tool used to evaluate the severity of a patient’s dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Your doctor will use this evaluation to measure your eyes’ natural lipid production in your tear layer, blink rate, incomplete blinking, and determine if you have Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a blockage of your eyes’ oil producing glands. Your doctor is then able to customize your treatment regimen based on the severity.
LipiView is done in our office and only takes about 5 minutes. You will simply look into a camera and blink normally.
