Introducing a revolutionary device that treats Blepharitis at its cause.
Blepharitis can be referred to as the grandfather of all eyelid diseases.
It is widely responsible for symptoms ranging from itching, a need to constantly rub the eyes, a film over vision
and redness to severe dry eye disease.
BlephEx™ is a new, in-office procedure that allows your eye care provider to treat blepharitis by reducing scurf and
bacterial debris, the main causes of inflammatory lid disease, and improves the overall health of the eyelid.
This procedure is painless and can be done by your local eye-care provider in just a few short minutes.
How BlephEx™ Works
BlephEx™ is a painless in-office procedure performed by your eyecare professional. A revolutionary new patented BlephEx™ handpiece is used to very precisely and carefully, spin a medical grade micro-sponge along the edge of your eyelids and lashes, removing scurf and debris and exfoliating your eyelids.
The patented micro-sponge is disposable and a clean one is used for each individual eyelid so bacteria is not spread between the lids.The eyes are rinsed well afterwards.
The procedure lasts about 6 -8 minutes and is well tolerated. Most patients simply report a tickling sensation. A numbing drop is usually placed in each eye prior to treatment for increased comfort.
After the procedure, the patient is instructed on how to maintain their clean eyelids with regular nightly lid hygiene. Since home treatments are only semi-effective, the procedure is typically repeated at 4-6 month intervals.
