| FEATURES

BLEPHASTEAM®is a patented medical device based on the results of scientiﬁc research by Dr JR FULLER. This innovative device relieves

symptoms of Meibomian Glands Dysfunction and associated diseases. It reproduces an environment that naturally enhances tear ﬁlm

quality and stability by reinforcing the thickness of the tear ﬁlm lipid layer.

This layer prevents tear ﬁlm evaporation; it is produced by Meibomian glands which are found in the eyelids. These glands can easily be

blocked, causing conditions such as dry eye syndrome, chalazion, blepharitis or ocular rosacea.

BLEPHASTEAM®spreads latent heat therapy which allows the melting of secretions and unblocks the Meibomian glands, improving tear

ﬁlm stability.

BLEPHASTEAM®has been tested and validated to ensure safe use.

While using BLEPHASTEAM®, Meibomian glands are unblocked, tear quality is improved enhancing ocular surface health and comfort,

leading to clear vision.

| INTENTED USE

BLEPHASTEAM®is designed for relieving the symptoms caused by abnormal functioning of Meibomian glands and associated

diseases such as dry eye syndrome, chalazion, blepharitis or ocular rosacea.

Eyelid hygiene with warming followed by moderate to ﬁrm massage is recommended according to the report from the International

Workshop on MGD in case of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.

The heat and moisture provided by the device melt the secretions that block these glands, making it easier to remove the secretions using

massage and pressure of the eyelids.

BLEPHASTEAM®improves tear ﬁlm stability by reinforcing the lipid layer thickness and helps to decrease symptoms such as grittiness/

dryness, foreign body sensation or ocular discomfort.

The product is designed for indoor use only. This includes homecare use and/or use in healthcare practices (e.g. ophthalmologists,

optometrists…)

For any questions about this device or for medical advice, please contact your eye specialist or Laboratoires THEA (see contact details at

the end of this leaﬂet).

2. CLINICAL INFORMATION

2.1. INDICATIONS

BLEPHASTEAM®is designed for relieving the symptoms caused by abnormal functioning of Meibomian glands and associated

diseases such as dry eye syndrome, chalazion, blepharitis or ocular rosacea.

Eyelid hygiene with warming followed by moderate to ﬁrm massage is recommended by International Guidelines in case of Meibomian

Gland Dysfunction (MGD).

The heat and moisture provided by the device melt the secretions that block these glands, making it easier to remove the secretions using

massage and pressure of the eyelids.

It has been reported that meibum melts at temperatures between 32°C (in normal subjects) and 45°C. Secretions from more severely

obstructed glands have been found to have considerably higher melting points than the secretions from apparently normal, unobstructed

glands, and thus to require higher temperatures maintained for longer periods of time for effective therapy. A constant warming of the

meibomian glands to 38°C is vital in MGD patients to liquefy the meibum oil before eyelid massage, whilst higher temperatures, preferably

40°C, are recommended for more severely obstructed glands.

Because the meibomian glands are located on the inner eyelid, it is important to ensure that the inner eyelid achieves a therapeutic

temperature and maintains that temperature long enough to melt the meibum. BLEPHASTEAM®provides safely a controlled moist heat

(thus also generating high levels of humidity that prevents or reduces evaporation from the aqueous layer of the tear ﬁlm), delivering a

temperature of 42.5°C at the ocular surface. The heat released by BLEPHASTEAM®melts the meibum that blocks these glands and thus

facilitates its clearance though the application of pressure on the eyelids or massage. As shown in a number of clinical studies assessing

this device (in patients with MGD and/or dry eye related to MGD), this results in improving gland function, tear ﬁlm thickness and stability

and, ultimately, ocular comfort (i.e., relief of ocular symptoms experienced by patients suffering from MGD).

BLEPHASTEAM®improves tear ﬁlm stability by reinforcing the lipid layer thickness and helps to decrease symptoms such as grittiness/

dryness, foreign body sensation or ocular discomfort.

For any questions about this device or for medical advice, please contact your eye specialist or Laboratoires THEA (see contact details at

the beginning of this leaﬂet).

2.2. CONTRAINDICATIONS

Unless otherwise speciﬁed by your doctor, BLEPHASTEAM®must not be used in the following cases:

• Acute diseases of the eyes and/or eyelids

• Recent injury and corneal lesions or damage to the eye

• Meibomian seborrhoea (excessive secretion of sebum produced by the Meibomian glands)

• After surgery to or around the eye

• If you are allergic to any component (plastic compounds)

2.3. POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS

The possible following side effects have been reported:

• Irritation and redness around the eyes

• Eye pain

If you note any side effects or unusual sensation after using this device, please contact a health care professional or report

the information to the local distributor, to the manufacturer or to your local health authority (see contact at the end of this

instructions for use)

2.4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

It is recommended that you use BLEPHASTEAM®twice a day, unless your eye specialist tells you otherwise.Allow at least four hours before

each treatment session.

It is important that the instructions for use and the recommendations given by your eye specialist are followed.
