Effective Blephex treatment
This is a long-term inflammatory disease of the eyelids caused by the overgrowth of normal bacteria living along the lid and base of the eyelashes. Anyone can get blepharitis, but the prevalence increases with age since as we get older we make fewer natural antibodies in our tears.
As the eyelids can be difficult to keep clean, overgrowth of bacteria, biofilm, scurf and debris can accumulate over the years and the toxins released from bacteria can cause irritation and subsequently damage the eyelids and tear glands.
The procedure
Inter Eyecare now provide the most up to date treatment available to alleviate this troublesome condition. The procedure is called Blephex and is entirely painless, using patented and revolutionary equipment which cleans along the edge of your eyelids and lashes, removing scurf and debris and exfoliating your eyelids. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes, is well tolerated and is typically repeated at 6 monthly intervals if needed. If you would like a consultation or to find out more call us on 0116 319 2800.
