LipiFlow device - what the????

[Max52]

Did lipiflow once 4 months ago. Doctor said things looked better, but I feel the same. With doxy it's been hard to tell. I don't think it's made me feel any better, but I might be worse without it.

I had no success with either. I did lipiflow 3 times and nothing. The doxy I did for about 5 months and it didn't help at all.

I had lipiflow 5 weeks ago but no results. My doctor said it may take up to several months for someone like me to see improvement and will not prescribe me any other treatments until i give lipiflow more time. Does anyone have experience with this or had sucess with other treatments such as doxy?

[dnivara]

No improvement for me at all.

[Max52]

2 months after...no improvement

[Bibi]

No improvement. Very disappointed.

Felt great for two weeks - then no relief.

[Hazakman]

for what it's worth.

I had Lipiflow last year and felt great for (2) weeks and then it all came back. Has anyone with severe dry eyes actually had a complete recovery from this?

I am not trolling, I've replied on like 2 threads then I figured out how to create my own, I am a patient and this is what works for me and I thought it could help others. I don't see how I'm hurting anyone, just figuring out how to navigate this site.

Akmpt, perhaps you could tell us more about the treatments you have tried before? I can see from your profile your symptoms and what you believe to be the cause of your dry eyes but not what meds or procedures you have tried before the Mibo Thermoflow.

lol nice troll advertising "akmpt". It's pretty obvious you're not a patient. But thanks for sharing the advice about this new device. We get the point, no need to write on every thread, we're not idiots haha.

The Review of Optometry always makes interesting reading for doctor-shopping http://www.revoptom.com/content/d/pr...i/2856/c/48319. Some Optometrists sound very disorganised, dishonest and exploitative. And some sound professional. I wonder why they don't explain things clearly to patients and maybe do a leaflet about expectations and what medical records to bring to include in the appointment confirmation letter.

Not to try and move away from the subject too much but I note this article doesn't have a "what to do when the patient knows more than you and you are out of your depth" section. Most of us have probably been there!

Almondiz,

Once again, I firmly believe that some doctors are not taking the time to educate the patient on expectations and treatment plans. I have seen a handful of patients who have already had the procedure once, that informed me MOST of what I said, they were hearing for the first time. When I had the treatment done myself for the first time, the ophthalmologist simply thanked me for having the procedure, and there was ZERO discussion of expectations and post op treatment. How many patients have had a negative experience with LipiFlow, because they were not good candidates in the first place?

Please private message me the name of your opthalmologist and I may be able to look into it.

Thanks

I asked you to private message me with your contact information. I will be happy to relay your practice information. Also, he and his colleagues have already read your posts. Therefore, simply provide me in private message your practice contact information and I will make sure he and his colleagues are able to contact your practice.

I've personally had much success with my dry eye problems after being treated with Mibo Thermoflow, they have a few sites you should check out.

I would suggest Mibo Thermoflow, it works for me, and its actually very comfortable and relaxing.
