What is Blepharitis?
Blepharitis occurs when the eyelids become inflamed, leading to uncomfortable and sometimes painful symptoms. It primarily affects the eyelid margins, where eyelashes grow, and can be categorised into two main types:
- Anterior Blepharitis: Impacting the outside front of the eyelid where eyelashes are attached
- Posterior Blepharitis: Affecting the inner eyelid in contact with the eye
Symptoms and Signs of Blepharitis
This condition manifests through various signs that can cause discomfort and impact your life. Common symptoms include:
- Persistent itchiness
- Red and swollen eyelids
- Flaky or crusty eyelashes
- A feeling as if sand or grit is in your eyes
- Excessive tearing or dry eyes
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision
What Causes Blepharitis?
Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment and management. Key contributors include:
- Bacterial infection
- Dysfunction of meibomian glands
- Dermatological conditions (like seborrheic dermatitis and rosacea)
- Demodex mites
- Allergic reactions
- Dry eye syndrome
BlephEx® Treatment for Blepharitis
BlephEx® offers a scientifically engineered solution to treating blepharitis. This innovative treatment leverages a medical-grade device to perform a deep and thorough cleaning of the eyelids, directly targeting the root causes of blepharitis.
Understanding How BlephEx® Works
Precision Cleaning
The handpiece has a soft, spinning micro-sponge, which exfoliates and removes the accumulated biofilm, bacterial toxins, and eyelid debris when gently applied to the edges of the eyelids and lashes.
Restoring Eyelid Health
By eliminating the buildup contributing to inflammation and irritation, BlephEx® restores the natural function of the eyelid margins. This alleviates blepharitis symptoms and enhances the overall health of the eye's surface, promoting a healthier tear film and reducing the risk of further infections or complications.
Preventative Care
Regular treatments can prevent blepharitis recurrence, maintaining the eyelid margins' cleanliness and health.
