Dry eye is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. At least 38 million people are affected by dry eye disease and symptoms, with 9 out of 10 people having too much tear evaporation causing irritation and pain. With Mibo Thermoflo, we can now offer relief that treats the cause of dry eyes at the root.
 

What is Mibo Thermoflo?

The Mibo Thermoflo is a therapeutic medical device that targets blocked meibomian glands that produce the oil for tears, providing a safe and effective alternative therapy for dry eyes. By using a proprietary thermoelectric heat pump, it can help maximize the liquefaction of oils from the eyelids for tears, thus improving the function of the evaporative component of the tear film.
 

How does MiBo Thermoflo treatment work?

The MiBo Thermoflo supplies a continuous controlled heat of 108 degrees that is applied to the outer skin of the eye lids, along with ultrasound gel for a gentle massage. The heat is absorbed deep into the tissue and breaks down hardened lipids in the meibomian glands.
 

  • No pain

  • No downtime

  • Wonderful for Eye Strain

  • No side effects
     

The treatment can be easily performed in an eye care professional's office and typically takes 20 minutes to complete. The doctor may perform a manual expression of the glands after the first or second session. With no downtime or recovery period required, you can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
 

What happens after treatment?

Successful meibomian gland expression helps increase the quality of oil production of the glands and decrease dry eye symptoms. For best results, you may need a short series of sessions.
