Eyelid Hygiene Overview
BlephEx® is a professional, in-office eyelid hygiene procedure performed by an eye care professional. The procedure focuses on mechanical cleaning of the eyelid area, including near the base of the eyelashes, where surface debris and buildup may accumulate over time as part of routine eyelid hygiene considerations. The procedure is performed in a clinical setting using professional equipment and is incorporated into eyelid hygiene workflows based on provider judgment and individual considerations.
Professional Eyelid Hygiene in a Clinical Setting
BlephEx® is an in-office procedure performed by an eye care professional to support routine eyelid hygiene. The procedure utilizes controlled mechanical cleaning of the eyelid area and is intended for professional use in a clinical environment.
During the procedure, a handheld device is used to apply consistent mechanical cleaning along the eyelids and lashes. This process addresses surface debris and buildup as part of a standardized eyelid hygiene approach. The procedure is non-surgical and performed entirely in an office setting.
Use of the BlephEx® system and its integration into clinical workflows are determined by the eye care professional based on individual considerations and professional discretion.
