MiBo ThermoFlo®

MiBo ThermoFlo® Treatment for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)

If you suffer from dry, irritated, or fluctuating vision, the cause may be Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) — one of the leading causes of evaporative dry eye.

We offer MiBo ThermoFlo, a gentle, in-office thermal treatment designed to restore healthy oil flow in the eyelids and improve tear stability.

What Is MiBo ThermoFlo?

MiBo ThermoFlo is a non-invasive treatment that delivers consistent, controlled therapeutic heat to the outer eyelids using a specialized handheld probe. The heat penetrates deep into the eyelid tissues to:

• Liquefy thickened or hardened oils
• Help clear blocked meibomian glands
• Improve natural oil flow into the tear film

Unlike at-home warm compresses, MiBo provides precise and sustained heat, allowing for more effective gland treatment.

How It Helps Dry Eye

Your tear film has three layers, including an important oil layer that prevents tears from evaporating too quickly. When the oil glands are blocked, tears evaporate faster — leading to:

• Burning or stinging
• Grittiness or sandy sensation
• Redness
• Fluctuating or blurry vision
• Watery eyes

By restoring oil flow, MiBo ThermoFlo helps stabilize the tear film and improve overall eye comfort.

What to Expect During Treatment

• Treatment is performed in our office.
• A warming gel is applied to the eyelids.
• The handheld device gently massages and heats the lids.
• The procedure is comfortable and relaxing.
• There is no downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately.

Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, depending on the severity of their gland dysfunction.

Is MiBo Right for You?

MiBo ThermoFlo may be recommended if:

• You have been diagnosed with MGD
• Artificial tears provide only temporary relief
• You experience chronic dry eye symptoms
• At-home warm compresses are not enough

We evaluate your gland health and tear stability to determine whether MiBo is the right option for you.

A Personalized Approach to Dry Eye Relief

Dry eye treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We combine advanced imaging, tear film testing, and symptom evaluation to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your eyes.
