The article focuses on LipiFlow, the proprietary thermal pulsation system from TearScience Inc. which received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), also known as evaporative dry eye. It notes the system's application of directed energy to a patient's eyelid during a 12-minute in-office treatment to remove meibomian gland obstructions. The results of the clinical trial on the system's safety and efficacy are also discussed.
