Do your eyes feel gritty, itchy, or inflamed? You could be suffering from blepharitis, a chronic condition that often contributes to Dry Eye Syndrome. At Dry Eye WA, our Blephex treatment offers a thorough, in-clinic solution to clean the eyelid margins and improve comfort.
Dry Eye Syndrome often stems from Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) or Blepharitis, both of which interfere with the tear film’s stability and lead to inflammation, dryness, and discomfort.
Our in-clinic therapies are designed to manage the causes, not just the symptoms, of your dry eyes.
Blephex is a precision eyelid cleaning procedure that removes the build-up of debris, bacteria, and Demodex mites from around the base of your eyelashes. It uses a gentle, handheld device that looks similar to an electric toothbrush, only instead of bristles, it uses a soft, moistened sponge.
The sponge is soaked in a specially formulated cleansing foam that deeply exfoliates the lash line, removing the barriers that block your daily lid cleansers from working effectively.
Sensation: The treatment feels unusual; anything from a light tickle to mild pressure. Some patients report a slightly raw sensation for a few hours post-treatment.
Relief: Most people feel relief from gritty, uncomfortable eyes within 24 hours, especially when combined with at-home care.
Duration: The in-clinic procedure takes about 10 minutes.
For bacterial blepharitis, one treatment may be enough.
For Demodex mite infestations, 2–3 sessions are often recommended due to their resilience.
If you have sensitive eyelids, a manual version of the treatment using a special soft pad and cleansing solution may be used instead, though it may require a follow-up visit.
