Dry Eye, Blepharitis and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Dry Eye Syndrome is the most frequently diagnosed ophthalmic condition and literally millions of people around the world suffer to some degree with its symptoms. Furthermore, the normal ageing process brings changes to the meibomian gland function and tear composition resulting in painful, gritty and irritating dry eye.
The MGDRx® EyeBag® was developed in 2004 by British consultant ophthalmologist Mr Teifi James after 15 years experience of treating patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
Effective eyelid warming is the primary treatment for MGD. The MGDRx® EyeBag®, a reusable warm compress, which heats quickly and conveniently in a microwave, has been registered as a class 1 medical device with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) since 2005. Teifi James was granted a patent for his invention in 2009.
Improving the quality of life for dry eye patients, the MGDRx® EyeBag® has been purchased by over 500,000 users and in a recent survey, more than 90% found the EyeBag® to be better than a hot wet flannel and would recommend the product to a friend or relative.
Research from Aston University confirms that the EyeBag® is a safe and effective treatment method.
