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). Eyelid temperatures, NITBUT, and TFLLT increased significantly from baseline in test eyes immediately after removal of the heated eyebag compared with those in control eyes (maximum temperature change, 2.3 ± 1.2 °C vs. 0.3 ± 0.5 °C, F = 20.533, p < 0.001; NITBUT change, 4.0 ± 2.3 seconds vs. 0.4 ± 1.7 seconds, p < 0.001; TFLLT change, 2.0 ± 0.9 grades vs. 0.1 ± 0.4 grades, Z = -4.035, p < 0.001). After 10 minutes, measurements remained significantly higher than those in controls (maximum temperature change, 1.0 ± 0.7 °C vs. 0.1 ± 0.3 °C, F = 14.247, p < 0.001; NITBUT change, 3.6 ± 2.1 seconds vs. 0.1 ± 1.9 seconds, p < 0.001; TFLLT change, 1.5 ± 0.9 vs. 0.2 ± 0.5 grades, Z = -3.835, p < 0.001). No adverse events occurred during the study.

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].

Founded in 2004 by consultant ophthalmologist, Professor Teifi James, The EyeBag offers a patented reusable warm compress, the MGDRx EyeBag. The compress provides a treatment for dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), blepharitis and associated symptoms.

The MGDRx EyeBag is the missing piece in Théa’s dry eye and MGD portfolio. We are delighted that we can now offer a full range of products to patients and practitioners alike looking for a complete treatment of their dry eye,” he added. If this is the only way of heating your EyeBag, ensure that you place it in a clean closed ovenproof container with a well fitting lid. Make sure you only set your microwave for 30 seconds, and not 30 minutes! Stay by your microwave while it is heating. Do not use the metal griddle supplied with some microwaves as this may burn your Blepha EyeBag® The EyeBag® is a silk and cotton device that can be re-heated up to 200 times in a microwave. Simply heat for 30 or 40 seconds on full power and the EyeBag® will stay warm for up to 10 minutes. Huang X, Qin Q, Wang L, Zheng J, Lin L, Jin X.

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].

The improvement in MG secretion at 2months after VTP was smaller in MGD patients with SS than in those without SS 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.

The Blephasteam ® (Théa Laboratories, France) is a goggle system that produces moist warm air and heats the eyelids through the condensation of water vapor. The melted meibum secretion is favoured by the normal blinking of the patients during the treatment. Temperatures recorded in the outer upper eyelids were between 37.4 °C and 40.0 °C at the end of the treatment, while in the lower ones they were between 37.8 °C and 38.4 °C [ 27, 29].
