Relieve Dry Eye with LipiFlow
Welcome to The Eye Institute: North Carolina’s Premier Center Offering LipiFlow
At The Eye Institute, we are committed to providing the most advanced solutions for your eye care needs. If you suffer from dry, irritated eyes, we offer LipiFlow, a breakthrough treatment specifically designed to address Meibomian Gland Disease (MGD)—the leading cause of chronic dry eye.
What is LipiFlow?
LipiFlow is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that targets the root cause of dry eye: blocked Meibomian glands. These glands are responsible for producing the essential oils that keep your tears healthy and your eyes comfortable. When they become blocked, it can lead to dry, gritty, or burning eyes. LipiFlow uses gentle heat and pulsating pressure to massage and unclog these glands, restoring normal oil production and improving tear quality.
Why Choose LipiFlow?
Unlike eye drops or artificial tears that only provide temporary relief, LipiFlow addresses dry eye at its source. Many patients notice significant improvement in their symptoms after just one treatment.
Benefits of LipiFlow
-
- Long-lasting relief from dry, irritated eyes
- Comfortable, in-office treatment that takes just minutes
- No downtime—patients can return to normal activities immediately
- Safe, FDA-approved technology
Is LipiFlow Right for You?
If you’re experiencing symptoms like burning, itching, redness, or fluctuating vision, you may be suffering from Meibomian Gland Disease. LipiFlow can provide lasting relief, allowing you to enjoy clearer, more comfortable vision. At The Eye Institute, we perform a tear analysis evaluation to determine if LipiFlow is the right solution for your specific needs.
What Sets LipiFlow® Apart?
LipiFlow® uses patented thermal pulsation technology that combines controlled heat and gentle, pulsating pressure to unblock and stimulate the Meibomian glands. This unique approach helps restore the natural flow of essential oils into the tear film, which prevents tears from evaporating too quickly and maintains overall eye comfort. The procedure is:
-
- Non-Invasive and Comfortable: LipiFlow® is performed in-office and typically takes around 12 minutes. Patients experience minimal discomfort as the device works to clear gland blockages and promote natural tear production.
- Clinically Proven: Studies have shown that LipiFlow® can significantly improve gland function and provide lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
- Efficient and Effective: Unlike other treatments that provide temporary solutions, LipiFlow® addresses the root cause of dry eye by restoring gland function, resulting in more sustainable relief.

Testimonials
I left feeling as if I was valued, and that my money was being well spent on something I wanted to spend it on — not something I felt pressured into thinking I needed. The eye exam was by far one of the most involved and well explained I have ever experienced. I was pleasantly surprised the that the Dr. was present the whole time, my questions were answered with thought and not once did I get the standard, "I would not be too concerned " response. It was always a clear interest to make sure I was understanding the technical as well as the results of his answer.

I had been coming here for years and I'm always greeted by friendly staff! They know most of my family and remember our life stories when we come. It never feels like I'm the eye doctor, it feels like family.

TEI's team has always been courteous, friendly and calls about the exam. I've been going for year to one in Knightdale, NC and would not switch unless they close which, hopefully, they never will!

Dr. Chad Morgan has provided me with proactive, strategic care and exceptional long-term advice about my eye care for more than 5 years. I trust him completely and know he has a full understanding of my health and the new treatment options for my care. I simply wouldn't entrust my eyes to anyone else!
