Advanced Thermal Therapy for Dry Eye Management

The Heated Eye Wand™ LED+ represents a significant advancement in at-home dry eye therapy. This device is designed to provide targeted and controlled heat, massage, and red LED therapy to address the underlying causes of evaporative dry eye and improve patient comfort.

Mechanism of Action:

The Heated Eye Wand™ LED+ utilises a multi-modal approach to achieve its therapeutic effects:

• Thermal Therapy:  Precisely controlled heat is applied to the eyelids to soften and melt hardened meibum, thereby improving the quality and flow of the tear film’s lipid layer. This is crucial for reducing tear evaporation, a primary factor in evaporative dry eye.
• Massage:  Gentle massage action aids in the expression of meibum from the meibomian glands, further promoting healthy gland function and tear film stability.
• Red LED Therapy:  Red light therapy is incorporated to target inflammation of the eyelids, a common contributing factor to dry eye symptoms and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
• Red LED has been shown to boost collagen and elastin to help improve the appearance of fine lines over time and with regular use.
• Green and Amber LED are newer and potentially even more exciting advances in visible light. Green LED has been shown to calm inflammation and heal damaged cells.
• While Amber LED has been found to reduce redness and the appearance of visible blood vessles – a leading reason for the appearance of dark circles.

Key Features and Benefits:

Multi-Therapeutic Modalities: Offers four treatment modes: heat only, heat and massage, massage with red LED, and red LED only, allowing for individualised treatment plans.

• Precise Temperature Control:  Ten adjustable heat settings (37°C – 45°C) enable clinicians to recommend the optimal therapeutic temperature for each patient.
• Rapid Heat-Up:  Reaches therapeutic temperature within 60 seconds, ensuring efficient treatment.
• Clinically Supported:  Designed to maintain a consistent and effective therapeutic temperature.
• Ergonomic Design:  The wand’s design facilitates easy and comfortable self-administration of therapy.

Clinical Applications:  The Heated Eye Wand™ LED+ is indicated for the management of:

• Evaporative Dry Eye Disease.
• Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
• Associated symptoms of ocular discomfort This device empowers patients to take an active role in their dry eye management, complementing in-office procedures and treatments.
