APPARATUS AND METHOD OF TREATING BLEPHARITIS, MEIBOMIAN GLAND DYSFUNCTION AND DRY EYE DISEASE

摘要

An apparatus and method are provided for treating blepharitis, MGD and DED. The apparatus is self-administered for removing debris from an eyelid. The apparatus includes bristles and a pair of pads formed within the apparatus and specifically within an eyelid contact region. When self-compressed against the eyelid of the user, the user can self-treat the eyelid border by exfoliating the meibomian glands to promote the clear flow of meibum onto the eye.
