What is blepharitis?
Blepharitis is a prevalent inflammatory ailment affecting the eyelids, resulting from an excessive proliferation of bacteria residing along the lid’s edge and the base of the eyelashes. While blepharitis can affect individuals of any age, the risk tends to rise with advancing age due to the reduced presence of antibodies in tears as we grow older.
What are the symptoms of blepharitis?
Blepharitis can present with various symptoms, including redness and inflammation of the eyelids, accompanied by irritation and itching sensations. Patients may also experience crusting or scaling around the eyelashes, along with a sensation of grittiness or a burning feeling in the eyes. Additionally, blepharitis can lead to excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, and in some cases, the formation of small ulcers at the lid margin.
What is BlephEx™?
BlephEx™ is a medical device designed for the treatment of blepharitis, a common eye condition characterized by inflammation of the eyelids. It works by gently rotating a specialized micro-sponge along the eyelid margins to remove debris, bacteria, and accumulated dead skin cells, thus alleviating symptoms associated with the condition. This in-office procedure aims to improve overall eye health and provide long-lasting relief from blepharitis symptoms.
How does BlephEx™work?
BlephEx™ works by utilizing a specialized handheld device equipped with a medical-grade micro-sponge. The device is gently rotated along the edge of the eyelids, effectively removing debris, bacteria, and accumulated dead skin cells from the eyelid margins. This precise cleaning process helps alleviate inflammation and irritation associated with blepharitis, ultimately improving overall eye comfort and health.
How long does BlephEx™ last?
The duration of the effects of BlephEx™ can vary from person to person. Typically, after a single treatment session, patients may experience relief from symptoms of blepharitis for several weeks to months. However, the longevity of the results depends on factors such as the severity of the condition, individual response to treatment, and adherence to recommended eyelid hygiene practices. In some cases, healthcare providers may recommend periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits of BlephEx™ over the long term.
