BlephEx Treatment at The Eye Lab

Dry, irritated and inflamed eyes can be an indication of blepharitis, a chronic inflammatory disease caused by bacterial or fungal infections, or meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). At the Eye Lab, we can use an innovative clinical treatment called BlephEx to clear away bacterial debris, leaving you free from the symptoms of blepharitis.

FAQs About BlephEx Treatment

What is BlephEx Treatment, and how does it work?

BlephEx is a simple, in-office procedure used to treat the symptoms of blepharitis, including watery and itchy eyes, redness, crusting and pain. Using the BlephEx handpiece, your optometrist will gently clean or ‘exfoliate’ your eyelids, removing accumulated bacterial biofilm.

Is BlephEx Treatment painful?

BlephEx treatment is a gentle and brief clinical procedure that reduces pain and inflammation associated with blepharitis, leaving you comfortable and pain-free afterwards. There is no recovery period necessary and, after treatment, you are able to continue with your day as normal.

How often should BlephEx Treatment be done?

Blephex treatments can ease blepharitis symptoms immediately and prevent recurrence for up to six months. Your optometrist will work closely with you to determine how often future BlephEx treatments may be necessary.

Can BlephEx Treatment improve the effectiveness of other eye treatments?

By improving your overall eye health, BlephEx may also improve the effectiveness of other dry eye treatments. For more information, speak with your optometrist.
