BlephEx & Other In-Office Treatments: Say Goodbye to Chronic Eye Irritation

If you struggle with ongoing eye irritation, burning, redness, or a gritty sensation that never seems to go away, you’re not alone. Chronic eye discomfort is often caused by underlying conditions like blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) - two of the most common contributors to dry eye disease. At Dussan Eye Care, we offer advanced in-office treatments  to provide long-lasting relief by targeting the underlying causes of chronic eye irritation.

Why Chronic Eye Irritation Keeps Coming Back

Many patients assume dry, irritated eyes are simply a part of aging, allergies, or screen use. In reality, chronic eye irritation is often caused by a buildup of bacteria, debris, and inflammation along the eyelids and oil glands. When these glands become blocked or inflamed, they can’t produce healthy oils needed to keep the eyes properly lubricated. Without treating the source of the problem, symptoms tend to return - sometimes worse than before.

What Is BlephEx?

BlephEx is an in-office eyelid cleaning procedure designed to remove debris, bacteria, and biofilm from the eyelid margins and lash line. This buildup is a major contributor to blepharitis and chronic inflammation.

During the BlephEx treatment:

• A specialized handheld device gently exfoliates the eyelids

• Bacteria is removed from the lash line

• Inflammation is reduced, improving overall eyelid health

The procedure is quick, comfortable, and highly effective for patients experiencing red, itchy, or irritated eyes related to blepharitis.

LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation: Clearing Blocked Oil Glands

For patients with meibomian gland dysfunction, LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation offers targeted relief. LipiFlow uses controlled heat and gentle pressure to unclog blocked oil glands in the eyelids.

Benefits of LipiFlow include:

• Improved oil flow into the tear film

• Reduced dry eye symptoms

• Long-lasting improvement in tear quality

By restoring proper gland function, LipiFlow helps stabilize the tear film and prevent rapid tear evaporation.

TearCare: Personalized Heat Therapy for Dry Eye

TearCare is another advanced treatment designed to improve meibomian gland function using flexible, wearable heat devices. Unlike traditional heating methods, TearCare allows patients to blink naturally during treatment, enhancing comfort and effectiveness.

TearCare helps by:

• Softening hardened oils in the glands

• Allowing manual gland expression for deeper relief

• Improving long-term tear stability

This customizable approach makes TearCare an excellent option for patients with moderate to severe dry eye symptoms.
