PROPERTIES and USE
Blephaclean is a sterile wipe pre-impregnated with a lotion, recommended for daily eyelid hygiene, in particular:- in cases of sensitive skin, eyelids or eyes;
- to remove dust, pollen and secretions from the eyelids; this may be part of care in cases of allergies or infections;
- in cases of inflammation or infection of the eyelids such as blepharitis, dysfunction of the Meibomian glands, stye or chalazion. These conditions may cause symptoms of dry eye such as tingling, sensation of sand in the eyes, irritation and/or redness;
- to clean the eyelids before ophthalmic procedures such as therapeutic injections performed directly into the eye (intravitreal injections), laser eye surgery (LASIK or PRK) and cataract surgery. Being well tolerated, Blephaclean may also be used after surgery, on the advice of a doctor or ophthalmologist.
Blephaclean cleans and removes dust, pollen and secretions from the eyelids.
Blephaclean respects the skin around the eyes and the naturally present bacterial flora. This product has been tested under ophthalmological control.
