Professional In-Office Eyelid Hygiene Procedure
The BlephEx® procedure is a professional, in-office eyelid hygiene service performed by an eye care professional. It utilizes a controlled mechanical cleaning process designed for use in a clinical setting as part of established eyelid hygiene workflows.
This procedure focuses on the eyelid margins, including the area near the base of the eyelashes where surface debris and buildup may accumulate over time. The BlephEx® system is operated by an eye care professional using a handheld device with a rotating disposable micro-sponge to support standardized application during clinical use.
