Mann
Eye Institute First in Texas to Introduce New LipiFlow Dry Eye Treatment
Designed
for Long-Term Dry Eye Relief Without Drops
Houston,
TX – July 10, 2012 – Texas cities are among many cities that dominate the list
of allergy and dry eye locations in the United States. Known for their focus
and commitment to comprehensive vision care and correction technologies, the
surgeons at Mann Eye Institute are the first in the state to offer a
revolutionary new treatment for Texans with dry eye - the LipiFlow Thermal
Pulsation System.
Traditional
dry eye solutions target the symptom vs. the root cause of the condition. These
treatments include expensive prescription drugs, over-the-counter drops and
even frequent warm compresses, all of which are designed for temporary relief
of the constant discomfort all too familiar to dry eye patients.
In
contrast, the LipiFlow treatment is designed to target the source of Evaporative Dry Eye, the most common form of dry eye in
the US today. Evaporative Dry Eye is typically caused by the blocking of the
meibomian (my-bo-mee-an) glands. When functioning optimally, the meibomian
glands secrete an oily substance onto the surface of your eyes that prevents
tears from evaporating. If the meibomian glands become blocked, the tears are
able to evaporate more quickly, which can lead to Evaporative Dry Eye. The
LipiFlow treatment unblocks the meibomian glands to provide increased
lubrication to the eye.
Paul
Mann, MD, medical director at Mann Eye Institute, has lived with long-term dry
eyes for many years and is personally enjoying the benefits of the LipiFlow
treatment. “In my years of medicine, I’ve yet to find a treatment or technology
that comes close to the relief we can provide with the LipiFlow,” Mann said.
“I’m thrilled to have the LipiFlow as a new treatment option for our patients
suffering from dry eyes!”
