TearScience has been awarded FDA approval through a nine-center randomized controlled clinical trial which demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of LipiFlow.

LipiFlow applies directed energy to a patient’s eyelid and takes out MGD obstructions during a 12-minute in-office treatment.

TearScience will sell its LipiFlow and LipiView Ocular Surface Interferometer devices as a system for eye care practices.

The LipiView enables physicians to visualize the eye’s tear film.
