How to Build a Daily Dry Eye Routine with NuLids and In-Office MiboFlow

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears produced are of poor quality. A major cause of chronic dry eye is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), in which the tiny glands along the eyelids become blocked. These glands are responsible for producing the oily layer of tears that prevents them from evaporating too quickly. At Focal Point Eye Care, we offer NuLids and MiboFlow to help you achieve lasting relief.

NuLids: Advanced Dry Eye Treatment

NuLids is a revolutionary treatment designed to gently stimulate and clean the eyelid margins where the meibomian glands are located. Using a specialized oscillating tip, NuLids helps to:

• Break up blockages within the glands

• Improve the flow of natural oils into the tear film

• Reduce inflammation and irritation around the eyelids

By treating the source of MGD, NuLids provides patients with significant improvements in comfort, vision, and overall eye health.

MiboFlow: Soothing Thermal Therapy

MiboFlow is another highly effective in-office solution for dry eye relief. This treatment uses therapeutic heat combined with gentle massage to unclog and restore the natural oil flow from the meibomian glands. Unlike warm compresses at home that cool down quickly, MiboFlow maintains a consistent therapeutic temperature that penetrates deeply and effectively.

Benefits of MiboFlow include:

• Restoring natural tear balance

• Improving tear film stability for clearer, more comfortable vision

• Reducing burning, redness, and gritty sensations

• Helping prevent long-term damage to the ocular surface

With regular treatment, MiboFlow not only relieves symptoms but also supports healthier eyes over time.

How to Build a Daily Dry Eye Routine

Creating a consistent routine is one of the best ways to manage dry eye symptoms and protect long-term eye health. After using NuLids to clear blocked meibomian glands and MiboFlow therapy to restore natural oil flow, patients can support their results by following a simple daily plan. This may include practicing proper eyelid hygiene, using preservative-free artificial tears as recommended, staying hydrated, and limiting excessive screen time with regular breaks. Together, professional treatments and daily care habits work hand-in-hand - helping to maintain clear, comfortable vision and prevent flare-ups of dry eye discomfort.
