Offer your patients relief, and promote healthy lipid flow, by including lid debridement and manual expression in your treatment protocol. Using the Karpecki Debrider to remove keritan from the meibomian glands and the Collins Expressor Forceps to clear obstructed meibomian glands to restore the flow of healthy lipid into the tear film can help increase the efficacy of home-based lid hygiene measures while also extending the effectiveness of other therapeutic treatments.
