BlephEx® Treatment for Dry Eye
If you suffer from dry, irritated, or red eyes, there is a good chance that eyelid inflammation could be a part of the problem. Over time, buildup along the eyelid margins can block the oil-producing glands that provide tear film stability. This blockage leads to inflammation of the eyelids (known as blepharitis) and dry eye symptoms, including irritation, blurred vision, and excessive tearing.
At Dr. Neil Rubin Optometry, we offer BlephEx® treatment in Wantagh, New York, for both blepharitis and dry eye disease. BlephEx® is a quick, gentle procedure that targets the underlying cause of many dry eye symptoms: debris and bacteria on the eyelid margins. Dr. Rubin will take the time to understand the root cause of your symptoms and tailor treatment to your unique needs.
What is blepharitis?
Blepharitis is a common condition that causes inflammation along the edges of the eyelids, where your lashes grow. It often results from an overgrowth of bacteria or clogged oil glands and can lead to symptoms such as:
- Burning or stinging eyes
- Itchy, crusty eyelids
- Redness
- A gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes
Blepharitis is one of the leading causes of chronic dry eye, and it typically worsens over time if not properly treated. That’s why we’re proud to offer blepharitis treatment in Wantagh using advanced options like BlephEx®.
What is BlephEx® treatment?
BlephEx® is a professional, in-office eyelid cleaning treatment designed to improve symptoms of blepharitis and dry eye disease. Using a soft, spinning micro-sponge, Dr. Rubin gently exfoliates the edge of your eyelids and lashes, removing debris, oils, and bacteria that contribute to chronic inflammation.
The treatment only takes a few minutes, and patients typically report an immediate feeling of freshness and relief. Many describe it as a spa treatment for the eyes!
