A lid cleaning done at the exam chair.
BlephEx is performed chairside at a scheduled visit, and the professional holds and guides the handpiece from start to finish.
Professional control
A licensed eye care professional runs the device and keeps it in hand the whole time.
Disposable tips
Each eye gets its own tip, and both go in the trash when the procedure ends.
Home care afterward
Patients leave with BlephEx Lid Cleanser foam so the daily lid routine carries on between visits.
What makes up the system.
A handpiece with its charger, single-use tip packs, a chairside cleanser and OptiVize, which is a separate system.
