OCULUS Keratograph® 5MThis diagnostic tool utilises various advanced technologies to objectively assess dry eye disease in a single examination. Non-invasive tear break up-time (NIBUT), Tear Meniscus Height, Meibography, Bulbar and Limbal Redness Evaluation (R-scan). This comprehensive approach provides valuable information for our optometrists to diagnose and classify dry eye for proper treatment.
ZEST Eyelid & Eyelash Deep Cleaning developed by Zocular®ZEST is an in-office deep cleaning procedure that uses a natural okra-based gel to thoroughly cleanse the eyelids, addressing dry eye symptoms caused by demodex mites and blepharitis. This painless treatment exfoliates the eyelids, opens up meibomian glands, and provides immediate relief from irritation, promoting healthy tear production. Regular home care is recommended to maintain eye hygiene and prevent further issues.
Lumenis® Optilight IPLOptiLight employs advanced IPL technology to target the underlying root causes of dry eye syndrome. IPL technology gently delivers pulses of light around the eyelids to reduce inflammation, unclog the eyelid meibomian glands, enhances the function of the meibomian glands, and increase overall tear production. The result is brighter, fresher, more lubricated eyes, along with reduced redness and discoloration. We are proud to be the first Lumenis® OptiLight practitioners in Hawthorn.
Blephasteam®Blephasteam® therapy provides effective relief for dry eye disease caused by meibomian gland dysfunction through the controlled application of moist heat. This gentle treatment softens blockages in the meibomian glands, enhances hydration, and improves blood flow around the eyelids, promoting healthy oil production and tear film stability. By preparing the glands for manual expression, Blephasteam® optimises the effectiveness of complementary treatments like meibomian gland expression or IPL.
Meibomian Gland Expression This hands-on treatment involves the gentle application of pressure to express blocked oil glands in the eyelids. By clearing obstructions and restoring proper gland function, meibomian gland expression improves tear stability and reduces symptoms of dry eyes. It is often combined with other therapies, such as Blephasteam® or IPL, for optimal results.
