DRY EYE TREATMENT: 3 SIMPLE STEPS

1. WIPE: Eyelid Hygiene

Gently clean the upper and lower eyelids every morning with either Blephadex Wipes or Blephadex Foam.

Along the margin of your eyelids are vertically aligned glands which release oils into your tears whenever you blink. These oils are important in forming a healthy tear film layer and prevent your tears from evaporating. Unfortunately these glands can become clogged causing Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). To revitalise your Meibomian glands you need to eliminate bacteria and keep eyelids clean using the Blephadex wipes or foam.

 

2. DROP: Control Bacteria

Apply 1 drop Optimel Manuka Honey Eyedrops to each eye 3 times a day for 1 month. 

The use of antibacterial Manuka Honey in your eyes significantly reduces the overgrowth of colonies of bacteria on your eyelid, improving your lid hygiene and function.

By using it three times a day over a 1 month period you will significantly improve the function of Meibomian glands.

It is normal to experience a stinging sensation for approximately 5 minutes after inserting the drops. 

Also please allow 30 minutes before inserting contact lenses.

 

3. DROP: Lubricate

Apply 1 drop of Hylo Forte Drops to each eye 3 times per day or when eyes are feeling dry.

Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the tear fluid of the human eye. It has water retaining properties and is effective at trapping water and preventing evaporation. We have selected to use 0.2% Hyaluronic acid because it outperforms other eye drops  in improving your tear film stability and lubricating your eyes.
