BlephEx Handpiece and Charger

About the Product

Available options: Choice, Pinnacle, Value.

Practices buy the handpiece as the instrument behind a professional, in-office eyelid hygiene procedure. It is operated by a licensed eye care professional, who keeps the device under control throughout so the same mechanical cleaning motion is applied consistently along the lid margins. The procedure is performed chairside during a scheduled office visit and addresses surface debris and buildup along the eyelid margins.
