BlephEx treatment of Blepharitis
The inflamed, crusted and flaky eyelids associated with blepharitis can be effectively treated with BlephEx, using a soft spinning sponge to micro-exfoliate, to help settle the blepharitis and Demodex mite infestation.

Summary
Blepharitis is a condition in which the eyelids become inflamed as a result of normal bacteria growing out of control along the lash lines of the eyelids. As the eyelids are not easy to clean this layer of bacteria, biofilm, debris and scurf accumulates over the years, leading to damage of the tear glands and eyelids. Blepharitis can be caused by an infestation of Demodex mites which live around the base of the lashes. Blepharitis is a common cause of dry eyes.
BlephEx™, the newest treatment for blepharitis, is performed at MY Eye Clinic by your consultant or specialist nurse. With BlephEx™ the clinician thoroughly and precisely eliminates the scurf and bacterial debris, the main causes of inflammatory lid disease.
BlephEx™ can reduce or alleviate the chronic and debilitating symptoms of blepharitis.
The Process
BlephEx™ is a revolutionary new patented hand piece, used to very precisely and carefully, spin a medical grade micro-sponge along the edge of your eyelids and lashes, removing scurf and debris and exfoliating your eyelids. BlephEx is an FDA-approved ophthalmic procedure which treats blepharitis but cannot completely cure the condition.
Treatments are typically repeated at regular monthly intervals depending on the severity of the disease. By eliminating the inflammatory etiology of blepharitis, the overall health of the eyelid is improved.
With BlephEx™ to treat the blepharitis, and OptiLight IPL to treat meibomian gland dysfunction, you can begin to produce better quality tears and finally enjoy a life free from the chronic and irritating symptoms associated with blepharitis and its subsequent dry eye disease.

First class recommendation for My Eye Clinic and in particular Andrew Peel who was professional, knowledgeable very thorough. A pleasure to deal with!
So helpful and reassuring. My site is amazing. The whole process was so smooth, I understood everything that I was told and knew of any risks and potential side effects before agreeing to anything. Couldn't be happier.
I recently had permanent lens procedure carried out by Mr Ghosh. Having glasses as a child and contact lenses for many years, this has been an absolute revelation for me. Mr Ghosh was absolutely brilliant and very professional from the start. All the staff are lovely and especially like to thank Dianne, Anita and the team. This has changed my life for the better thanks.
Beautiful clinic, really nice atmosphere, prompt service and really friendly and professional staff. Fernando was particularly great!I would definitely recommend.
Excellent care, all staff very courteous and helpful. YAG surgery clearly explained to me by Mr Morgan, who did a brilliant job. I'd highly recommend this clinic.
I visited the My Hearing Clinic knowing I needed a hearing assessment but thinking it was just a build up of wax. It came as a shock that I heard a hearing loss which needed addressing. The service I received from Andrew was outstanding! He explained my hearing loss and went through all my options. He recognised that it was a lot of information to take in so made a follow up appointment, giving me sufficient time to think about what I wanted to do. From start to finish the service has been excellent, efficient, professional and friendly from the moment you walk through the door and meet Lee. The clinic is well located, parking on site, high standard of cleanliness. Definitely a recommendation from me. Thank you!
Absolutely first class treatment and experience at this wonderful clinic. Staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly Mr Morgan the consultant was lovely explaining everything.
