First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study compares a clinic-based thermal device (MiBo Thermoflo) to standard warm compresses for treating dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. About 42 adults who haven't improved with warm compresses will be randomly assigned to either three sessions of MiBo therapy or continued warm compresses. Researchers will measure eye surface health, tear quality, and symptoms over 24 weeks to see which approach works better.
