We are excited to announce that Lipiflow dry-eye therapy is now available in Tauranga. Our Bay Eye Care optometrists have had the device delivered and set-up and have completed thorough training with Johnson + Johnson’s Sydney based expert, meaning this technology is ready and available for patients in 2025.
The Bay Eye Care team, along with J+J surgical support manager Angela, with undergoing training with our new Lipiflow device.
Lipiflow is an exciting addition to our suite of dry eye treatments, to complement IPL and other more conservative dry eye treatments. The Lipiflow thermal pulsation system is a novel in-clinic treatment which uses a sterile single-use activator device sitting gently over your eyelids. During a single 12 minute session the activator internally heats the meibomian gland structures, while simultaneously massaging the exterior lid to express any stubborn, blocked oils from the glands. This improves tear film stability and volume, thereby helping the dry eye symptoms of pain, grittiness, redness or poor vision.
Watch this short video narrated by our principal optometrist Mr Alex Petty, showing the Lipiflow device in action as Bay Eye Care’s other optometrist Mr Aidan Quinlan, a dry eye sufferer himself, undergoes his treatment!
