LipiScan and LipiView II Meibomian gland and tear film imaging.
LipiScan Dynamic Meibomian Imager and LipiView II Ocular Surface Interferometer are in-office ophthalmic imaging devices for adult patients. LipiScan captures digital images of the meibomian glands, and LipiView II adds interferometric imaging of the tear film to measure the absolute thickness of the lipid layer.

How it works
How TearScience imaging works
Both instruments image the meibomian glands with dynamic meibomian imaging. LipiView II also captures specular (interferometric) observations of the tear film and measures the absolute thickness of the tear film lipid layer.
Nanometer accuracy
LipiView II measures the absolute thickness of the tear film lipid layer.
Patient education
Gland and tear film images give an education opportunity to show patients what is happening at the ocular surface.
Workflow efficiency
LipiScan is designed to maximize workflow efficiency with a versatile design.
Two instruments, one imaging platform
LipiScan focuses on high-definition meibomian imaging. LipiView II combines meibomian imaging with tear film interferometry and reporting.
- High-definition meibomian imaging
- Lipid layer thickness measurement
- Real-time reporting

LipiScan Dynamic Meibomian Imager
High-definition meibomian imaging in a versatile design built to maximize workflow efficiency.
-
LipiView II Ocular Surface Interferometer
Patented interferometry technology that measures the absolute thickness of the tear film lipid layer, plus imaging of the meibomian glands, ocular surface and eyelids.
-
Dynamic meibomian imaging
Three imaging modes: Dynamic Illumination, Adaptive Transillumination and Dual-Mode DMI.
-
LipiView II Reporting
TearScience LipiView II Reporting offers real-time visualization.
The exam
Imaging in the clinic
Both devices are operated by a physician to capture, archive, manipulate and store digital images.
Capture
Image the meibomian glands with dynamic meibomian imaging and, on LipiView II, the tear film, ocular surface and eyelids.
Measure
LipiView II uses the interferometric images to measure the absolute thickness of the tear film lipid layer.
Review and store
Images are archived and stored, and LipiView II Reporting offers real-time visualization to review with the patient.

Indications for use
US: LipiScan: LipiScan™ Dynamic Meibomian Imager (DMI) is an ophthalmic imaging device intended for use by a physician in adult patients to capture, archive, manipulate and store digital images of the meibomian glands.
US: LipiView II: The LipiView II Ocular Surface Interferometer is an ophthalmic imaging device 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, LipiView® 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
Common questions about LipiScan and LipiView II
What does LipiScan image?
LipiScan captures, archives, manipulates and stores digital images of the meibomian glands.
How does LipiView II differ from LipiScan?
In addition to meibomian gland imaging, LipiView II captures interferometric images of the tear film to measure the absolute thickness of the lipid layer, and images the ocular surface and eyelids under white illumination.
What imaging modes are available?
Dynamic meibomian imaging includes Dynamic Illumination, Adaptive Transillumination and Dual-Mode DMI.
Who are the devices intended for?
Both are intended for use by a physician in adult patients.
Add TearScience imaging to your dry eye workup
Image the meibomian glands with LipiScan, or add tear film lipid layer measurement with LipiView II.
