Chronic dry eye itself is a common eye condition that affects over 5 million Americans every year.
Dry eyes and blurry vision are both symptoms of a condition called dry eye syndrome. Other common symptoms of dry eye syndrome include:
- Redness
- Itchy eyes
- Eye pain
- A feeling like something is stuck in your eye
- Light sensitivity (photophobia)
- Blurred vision
Here at Bermel Vision & Aesthetics, we specialize in the treatment of Dry Eye with a variety of procedures, including IPL and Lipiflow.

TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II Ocular Surface Interferometer
Leading innovation in lipid layer thickness measurement and meibomian gland imaging.
TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II Ocular Surface Interferometer with Dynamic Meibomian Imaging™ (DMI) measures lipid layer thickness (LLT) with nanometer accuracy, captures blink dynamics, and images meibomian gland structure.1
The TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II Interferometer features patented technology that provides a sophisticated assessment of factors that contribute to dry eye. Compelling visuals and video captures provide an opportunity to educate patients about their personal ocular health.
Dynamic Meibomian Imaging
MEIBOMIAN GLANDS IN HIGH DEFINITION1
Dynamic Illumination
Surface lighting originates from multiple light sources to minimize reflection.
Adaptive Transillumination
Changes to the light intensity across the surface of the illuminator compensate for the lid thickness variations between patients.
Dual-Mode DMI
Dynamic Illumination offers an enhanced view of meibomian gland structure.
TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II Reporting
REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION
Lipid Layer Thickness (LLT) Evaluation with Nanometer Accuracy
Presents lipid layer thickness measurements in an easy to understand color-coded map.
Dynamic Meibomian Gland Imaging
Utilizes advanced illumination technology to capture high-definition images.
Blink Dynamics
Analyzes blink patterns and detects partial blinks. A graphical representation shows fluctuations in lipid layer thickness measurements between each blink.
Visualize Blink Response
High-resolution video depicts how well ocular lipids disperse in response to a blink through variations in light patterns reflected off the tear film called an interferogram.
Benefits
TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II Features
- Real-time visualization of the lipid layer to evaluate the dynamic response of lipids to blinking1
- Video and analysis of blink dynamics
- High-definition imaging with Dynamic Meibomian Imaging1

Indications & Safety Information
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Rx Only
FOR THE TEARSCIENCETM LIPIVIEWTM II OCULAR SURFCE INTERFEROMETER
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II Ocular Surface Interferometer is an ophthalmic imaging device that is intended for use by a physician in adult patients to capture, archive, manipulate and store digital images of:
- Specular (interferometric) observations of the tear film.
Using these images, TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II measures the absolute thickness of the tear film lipid layer. - Meibomian glands under near-infrared (NIR) illumination.
- The ocular surface and eyelids under white illumination.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Contraindications are conditions in which the device should not be used because the risk of use clearly outweighs any benefit. No contraindications have been identified for TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II.
PRECAUTIONS
The following patient conditions may affect the interferometry assessment of a patient’s tear film using TearScienceTM LipiViewTM II:
- Use of ophthalmic drops such as artificial tear lubricants, ointments, and medications. Advise patients not not instill oil-based ophthalmic drops (e.g., Soothe®, Restasis®, Systane Balance®) for at least 12 hours prior to device use and not to instill ointments for at least 24 hours prior to device use. Wait at least four (4) hours after the instillation of all other ophthalmic drops prior to device use.
- Soft or rigid contact lens wear. Advise patients to remove contact lenses at least four hours prior to device use.
- Use of oil-based facial cosmetics around the eye.
- Eye rubbing.
- Recent swimming in a chlorinated pool. Advise patients to not to swim for at least 12 hours prior to device use.
- Any ocular surface condition that affects the stability of the tear film. These conditions include disease, dystrophy, trauma, scarring, surgery, or abnormality.
