Product Information

Maskin SL, Alluri S. Meibography guided intraductal meibomian gland probing using real-time infrared video feed. Br J Ophthalmol. 2020 The EyeBag can be used as a treatment for sore gritty eyes, dry eye syndrome, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, Chalazion treatment, Stye treatment and Blepharitis treatment. Vigo L, Taroni L, Bernabei F, et al. Ocular surface workup in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction treated with intense regulated pulsed light. Diagnostics. 2019;9(4):147. Bilkhu et al. [ 17] (level of evidence: II) observed that 5 min of the MGDRx EyeBag ® application twice a day for 2 weeks was an effective and safe treatment for MGD. Moreover, the benefits could last for 6 months when subjects continued the therapy occasionally. Murphy et al. [ 18] (I) showed that increasing the treatment time to 10 min seemed to be equally effective. However, Ngo et al. [ 19] (I) found no significant changes in clinical signs after 1 month using the MGDRx EyeBag ® twice a day for 10 min.

The Blepha EyeBag is a silk and suedex device which can be re-heated up to 200 times in a microwave. Simply heat for 30 or 40 seconds on full power and the Blepha EyeBag will stay warm for up to 10 minutes.Since 1993, he has become one of Long Island's most highly sought and professionally recognized eye surgeons, most notably while as a physician partner of OCLI - performing over 1000 ophthalmic procedures annually. These procedures include no-stitch cataract surgery, the most modern therapies for glaucoma, laser refractive surgery, and laser treatment of both macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

These devices also soften the meibum to increase its release by applying moist heat to the eyelids. Although it remains unclear, it was hypothesized that moist warming devices might be less effective than dry warming devices because of the cooling that follows the rapid heat evaporation in the case of moist devices [ 27].

Veinticinco participantes completaron el estudio (edad media 38 ± 15 años, 7 varones). Se produjo un cambio significativo en IESO a lo largo del tiempo en el grupo EyeBag (media[IC inferior del 95%, IC superior del 95%], valor basal: 39,1[31, 1,47], 2sem: 26,8[19,7 33,9], 4sem: 26,6[16,5, 36,7], 8sem: 27,7[18,4, 37]; p = 0,01), pero no en el grupo control (p = 0,22), y no existió diferencia significativa entre grupos en todos los puntos temporales (total p > 0,27). Los síntomas mejoraron de inmediato tras utilizar EyeBag, sobre la base de puntuaciones CSQ domiciliarias (Δ=-5 puntos, p < 0,01), pero no en el grupo control. Para ambos grupos, no se produjo cambio significativo (valor p EyeBag, valor p control) en la puntuación MG (0,21, 0,17) y NIBUT (0,49, 0,06) con el tiempo.
