BLEPHASTEAM® features and health benefits
BLEPHASTEAM® improves your tear quality by unblocking your meibomian glands, which in turn has positive benefits for eye health, vision and comfort.
It was designed in collaboration with eye care specialists, based on scientific studies by Dr JR Fuller that suggest daily application of heat and humidity has a beneficial effect on various MGD conditions.
Eyelid hygiene with warming followed by gentle massage is now recommended by an international workshop for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
The heat and moisture provided by the BLEPHASTEAM® eyelid warming mask is designed to be ideal for melting the secretions that block the meibomian glands in cases of MGD.
This makes it easier for you to remove the secretions using massage, gentle pressure on the eyelids and to cleanse the lids, removing the secretions with an eyelid wipe.
Moisture is stored in the mesh of the water carrier and evaporates steadily over the 10 minute therapy session.
