TEAR BREAKUP TIME & TEAR FILM ANALYSIS

The Tear Breakup Time and Tear Film Analysis determine the stability of the tear film and check for evaporative dry eye. This digital eye exam is important for dry eye therapy in Los Angeles because an unstable tear film can explain dry eye symptoms in patients who have a normal quantity of tears. Unstable tear film means that the tear composition is imbalanced, resulting in tears evaporating too quickly or not adhering properly to the surface of the eye.

MEIBOGRAPHY

Meibomian gland dysfunction is responsible for symptoms in many patients of our dry eye specialists in Los Angeles. The Meibomian glands produce the oily layer of the tears. When there is inflammation or blockage of the glands, they can atrophy and die away. Once atrophied, they cannot produce as much meibum. Meibography is the only in-vivo means to evaluate the morphology of the meibomian glands to see if they have been damaged.

The MiBo Thermoflo is a therapeutic medical device providing a safe and effective alternative dry eye therapy in Los Angeles and Reseda.
