About this deal

Regarding the efficacy, some studies assessed IPL treatment alone. Jiang et al. [ 73] (III) observed an improvement in symptoms, BUT, conjunctival injection, and MG score from baseline to day 45. However, no differences were found between days 75 and 45, suggesting that two sessions were enough to reduce the signs and symptoms of MGD. Vigo et al. [ 74] (III) also performed follow-up visits on day 1, 15, and 45. They found an improvement in NIBUT, LLT, and osmolarity and suggested that patients with lower BUT responded better to the treatment. Finally, Yurtasser et al. [ 75] (III) found an improvement in symptoms and NIBUT at 1 month and an improvement in symptoms, NIBUT, MG dropout, and corneal staining in the mild and moderate MG atrophy groups, lasting up to 12 months. No improvement was observed in patients with severe MG atrophy. However, another study (II) compared IPL with eyelid hygiene and found that although both groups improved in symptoms, BUT, and MG score; the IPL group also improved in conjunctival staining [ 76]. IPL increased the molecular weights of lysozyme, lactoferrin, and albumin as well as the concentrations of total lipids, triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids in tear fluid DO NOT HEAT IN ANY TYPE OF IMPLEMENT THAT MIGHT CAUSE THE EYEBAG TO BE SET ON FIRE.

The Blepha EyeBag (Formally MDG Rx Eyebag ®) is a patented, CE marked Class 1 medical device registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

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. Wu Y, Li J, Hu M, et al.

Improved ocular symptoms and tear film stability, and reduced acinar diameter and area as detected by in vivo confocal microscopy In the edges of the upper and lower eyelids there are small glands, known as the Meibomian glands. These glands secrete an oily substance needed to lubricate and clean the front of the eye and allow the tear film to spread effectively.

The Eye-ssential ® Mask (Thera Pearl, USA) produces warmth when the pearls inside the mask absorb, hold and deliver the heat acquired in the microwave. The mask reaches its peak temperature (38.7 °C) after 3 min and decreases to 37.9 °C after 12 min [ 16].

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between application of the MGDRx thermal eyebag and dry eye signs and symptoms in young and older subjects and to compare the results between the two groups. Twenty-five participants completed the study (mean age 38±15 years, 7 male). There was a significant change in OSDI over time for the EyeBag group (mean[lower 95% CI, upper 95% CI], baseline: 39.1[31.1,47.0], 2wk: 26.8[19.7,33.9], 4wk: 26.6[16.5,36.7], 8wk: 27.7[18.4,37.0]; p=0.01), but not in the control group (p=0.22), but no significant difference between groups at all time points (all p>0.27). Symptoms immediately improved after conducting the EyeBag based on at-home CSQ scores (Δ=-5.0 points, p<0.01), but not in the control group. For both groups, there was no significant change (p-value EyeBag,p-value control) in MG score (0.21,0.17) and NIBUT (0.49,0.06) over time. Dynamic intraductal probing ameliorated ocular symptoms and was safe for treatment of refractory obstructive MGD Calling the acquisition “an exciting addition to the Théa portfolio,” Philip Lewis Williams, managing director of Théa UK, commented: “We have worked closely with Professor James for a number of years, starting with the development of the Théa Dry Eye Project.” If you have a plate warming setting on your oven, use that.

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic, diffuse abnormality of the meibomian glands (MG), characterized by terminal duct obstruction and changes in the glandular secretion. This anomaly may result in alterations of the tear film, symptoms of eye irritation, clinical inflammation, and ocular surface disease [ 1]. Its prevalence varies between 3.5% and 19.9% in the Caucasian population, while it reaches > 60% in the Asian population [ 2]. Visual acuity: best corrected monocular and binocular visual acuity was measured using a digital logMAR chart at 6 m, randomised between presentations (Test Chart 2000; Thomson Software Solutions, London, UK). Visual acuity was determined using letter by letter scoring with each letter corresponding to −0.02 logMAR units. VTP increased the temperature of the inner surface of the eyelid to the 40°C therapeutic threshold for melting of obstructive meibum Remove Blepha EyeBag® from the box and place it on a clean, dry microwaveable plate. Always make certain the dish or plate you use is completely clean as any small food residue can become very hot and these “hot spots” might cause small burns in the Blepha EyeBag® material. With Théa’s research and development experience and distribution network of more than 70 countries, the company suggested its platform would be “ideal” to introduce The EyeBag to a global audience.Satjawatcharaphong P, Ge S, Lin MC.
