BlephEx™- Blepharitis Treatment
How do your eyes FEEL?
Our Rockville Md optometry practice is proud to offer a new, in-office procedure for our patients to treat blepharitis. Blepharitis is an inflammation affecting the eyelids and eyelashes. Common symptoms of blepharitis include: dandruff like flakes, redness, sandy feeling, burning, itching, and sticky sensation on the eyes. If blepharitis is left untreated the eyelid glands can become clogged and infected. This can cause styes, dry eye syndrome, corneal ulcers, and unsightly crusted scales and debris on the eyelids. Fortunately there is help! BlephEx™ improves the overall health of the eyelid, and reduces many of the common symptoms associated with blepharitis, including removing bacterial scurf and crusted debris.
