Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is now recognised as a primary cause or contributor to most cases of chronic dry eye syndrome. The Blephasteam® is a medical device which delivers latent heat therapy to the eyelids in order to relieve the symptoms caused by MGD.
Offered as part of our Dry Eye Clinic, the Blephasteam® treatment helps improve the consistency and quality of the oil layer of the tear film produced by the meibomian glands of the eyelids, leading to improved ocular health, vision and comfort.
Taking high dose Omega-3 supplements has been found to reduce the inflammation around the lids and improve symptoms.
Omega-3 helps the eyelids produce a healthy oil layer that protects tears from evaporating, while at the same time promoting healthy tear production from the inside. As these improvements occur in the glands that produce tears, eye comfort also increases.
