Blephasteam is a safe and convenient treatment used as part of our patients’ dry eye treatment action plan to relieve symptoms associated with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). Blephasteam creates the perfect temperature and environment to increase blood flow, melting the thick secretions within the glands. After each session, the secretions are manually expressed, improving oil flow into the tear surface and thus tear quality.
These treatments can minimise itchy eyes, tearing, crusting, sore eyes, red eyes and other symptoms related to dry eye syndrome. Since we started using these devices in our Smart Vision practices, we have received a very positive response from our patients as they have significantly reduced chronic symptoms associated with dry eyes and improved their overall eye health.
