Electrotherapy treats dry eyes

Dry eye is quite common in the elderly or in people who regularly come into contact with the computer. One of the causes of the disease is the oil produced by several glands in the eyelid that is thick and waxy, causing tears to evaporate quickly, causing dry eyes and swelling.

The Blephasteam glass is invented by British ophthalmologist John Fuller, which is capable of directing steam into the eye, dissolving the oil and regulating the oil. The Blephasteam design is comparable to swimming goggles, but is made from medical grade rubber.

Inside the glass is lined moist paper, disposable. A wired control box and plug are mounted on the rim. The temperature will evaporate water in the paper rings, dissolving the oil in the eye. The moisture produced does not blur the glasses, patients can still read newspapers, watching television.

Research by the University of Caledonia (Scotland) shows that Blephasteam glass is 100% effective. Just use twice a day, every 10 minutes, after 4 weeks the eye condition will be significantly improved. The Blephasteam is priced at £ 200 (over £ 6.5 million) and comes with a 100-pound wet paper box.
