VisuFarma: Warming relief

Eye health products company VisuFarma has released a newly packaged iteration of its MeiboPatch eyepatch.

The eyepatch is for the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which affects two thirds of patients who suffer from dry eyes. Warm flannels are often used by patients with blocked meibomian glands to provide relief, but do not always maintain the optimum temperature for unblocking glands and can be dangerous if heated above 50°c.

MeiboPatch provides a comfortable reusable option for patients with MGD that reaches optimum temperature within 40 seconds, explain VisuFarma. The product has been designed with a temperature testing strip so patients can ensure comfortable relief, with hypoallergenic properties further minimising discomfort.
