Thermal Vectored Pulsation
The LipiFlow® (Johnson \& Johnson Vision, USA) Thermal Pulsation System, also known as vectored thermal pulsation, is a treatment that applies localized heat and pressure to the meibomian glands lining the eyelids. The device consists of a console connected to single-use, sterile devices applied to each eye known as activators. The activator includes an eye warmer with a large lens that gently sits on the conjunctiva of each eye. The activator cups the upper and lower eyelid and applies regulated, outward heat to the surface of the palpebral conjunctiva with an air bladder that intermittently provides directional, controlled massage of the eyelids to promote expression of the liquified contents.
