BlephEx

BlephEx is a private ophthalmic medical device company focused on professional eyelid hygiene and in-office management of blepharitis and related ocular surface conditions. Its flagship BlephEx system is a handheld, FDA-regulated device used by eye care professionals to mechanically clean the eyelid margin with a disposable micro-sponge. The company also markets related products including OptiVize and highlights imaging/visualization tools such as LashCam on its website. BlephEx is positioned as a commercial-stage eye care company serving optometrists and ophthalmologists rather than a drug-development biotech. Its products are used in clinical workflows for eyelid cleaning, debris and biofilm removal, and management of symptoms associated with lid disease and dry eye.
