THE EYELIDS & OCULAR SURFACE CONDITIONS
Posterior blepharitis (meibomian gland dysfunction) is a chronic, often undiagnosed inflammation of the eyelids, resulting in dry eyes and allergic symptoms in the eyes, due to a reduced quantity and quality of lipid oil in the tears, usually caused by dysfunction of the meibomian glands located in the eyelids. Artificial tears contribute to relief but are only a symptomatic and supplementary treatment.
Meibomian glands of the eyelids
The meibomian or lipid glands present in the upper and lower eyelids are responsible for the production of the lipid layer, a fundamental component of tears, which helps to slow down their evaporation.
SYMPTOMS OF POSTERIOR BLEPHARITIS (MEIBOMIAN GLAND DYSFUNCTION)
Meibomian gland dysfunction due to eyelid inflammation often leads to chronic dry eye and recurrent styes with symptoms such as:
Irritated, swollen eyelids
Red, irritated eyes
Foreign body sensation/gritty feeling in eyes
Burning, itching, stinging
Epiphora
Sensitivity to light
Blurred vision
Makeup intolerance
Contact lens intolerance
Difficulty driving
Optical fluctuations during the day
Common causes contributing to meibomian gland blockage/dysfunction:
Chronic undiagnosed eyelid inflammation
Incomplete eyelid and eyelash hygiene
uncontrolled bacterial growth
Demodex mites
Dermatitis
glaucoma treatments
makeup
contact lenses
INDICATIONS
The 40C self-heating compresses Ophthalmogen EYE10 are the evolution of the traditional compress. They contribute to the unblocking of the meibomian glands, the improvement of their functional state, the increase of lipid flow from the eyelids to the eyes, the stabilisation of the tear film and the slowing down of tear evaporation. The complete eyelid treatment protocol for cases of blepharitis and dry eye with significant symptoms includes 40C eyelid thermal therapy with Ophthalmogen EYE10 compresses (Step 1), cleaning with Naviblef and eyelid massage with Ophthalmogen Gel (Step 2).
BENEFITS OF USE
Daily eyelid hygiene with the innovative 40C self-heating Ophthalmogen EYE10 compresses helps to decongest the eyelids and improve the quality of the tear film, resulting in better vision and quality of life. The high levels of compliance and satisfaction achieved with Ophthalmogen 40C thermal therapy due to its ease of use, speed, and comfort, make it the best solution for people suffering from symptoms of blepharitis and dry eye, who have limited time.
