MiBo Flo
MiBoFlo (MiBo Thermoflo) is a non-invasive, in-office therapy designed to help relieve dry eye symptoms caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) — the leading cause of evaporative dry eye.
It uses gentle, continuous controlled heat applied to the outside of the eyelids to soften and liquefy thickened oils that block the meibomian glands and interfere with a healthy tear film.
-
During the treatment, a warm gel is applied and the MiBoFlo device is used to deliver therapeutic heat across the eyelids, helping to melt and release trapped oils from your glands — improving the tear film’s natural lipid layer.
-
108-110°– the temperature necessary to release blocked glands. Studies have shown that this temperature cannot be achieved with home warm compresses.
-
Most patients feel very relaxed with the heat on their eyelids as though this is a spa treatment.
-
While eye drops only provide relief for a few minutes or hour at most, the relief from this treatment typically lasts for months.
-
This wilI vary by individual and the severity of the blockage of your oil glands. Most patients benefit from one treatment every six months, while others with severe gland disease require more frequent treatments.
