What is BlephEx Treatment?

Treatment of blepharitis is long-term and requires strict adherence to a routine of eyelid hygiene and ocular lubrication. The use of proprietary sterile wipes / diluted baby shampoo and the application of heat with warm compress is effective but depends solely upon the patient. Our Laser Vision clinical team can use BlephEx to remove bacteria, scurf and oily caps from the meibomian glands in order to reduce inflammation.
