What is Blephex?
Blephex is a cutting-edge treatment designed to tackle the discomfort caused by blepharitis—an irritating eye condition where the glands of the eyelids become inflamed causing redness, swollen and crusty eyelids resulting in dry eye. By using advanced technology, Blephex gently cleans and exfoliates the eyelids, providing relief from discomfort and promoting better eye health.
