G>EyG Dry-eye syndrome treatment using intense pulsed light technology

Meibomian gland dysfunction has been identified to be the main cause of dry eye syndrome around the world // These are first report about Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) from the ARVO (the association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology) conference organized in 2010. The gathering of more than 50 members included the most recognised ophthalmology and optometry experts around the globe. Since then, an efficient treatment of the Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, radically different from existing treatments, has been developed and clinically tested with exceptional results.

The pathology The dry-eye syndrome is a common pathology affecting - depending on the areas - between 5 to 15% of the population with symptoms increasing with age. Conditions of a modern lifestyle (including working on computer screens, driving cars, artificial lights, air pollution, wearing eye contact lenses…) make dry-eye syndrome a more and more frequent nuisance. Generally speaking, dry-eye conditions are a result of a lacrymal layer issue, either caused by insufficient tears or an excessive evaporation. It is recognised that a large majority of cases are caused by the evaporation form,...

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) The affection of the lipid phase produced by these cells – the meibum – will lead to an excessive evaporation of tears, an unstable lacrymal film and an inflammatory reaction of the conjonctiva. The result is an increase in vision disorders during long periods of short-distance tasks (work on computer screens...) with a feeling of "eye burning" stopping any visual work. If this process accelerates, the discomfort becomes permanent creating a paradoxal tear increase; wearing contact lenses becomes impossible. Anatomical modifications can occur with an atrophy...

Current Treatments Everyday dysfunctional signs of patients generate multiple therapeutic treatments. Treatments currently available are mainly substitutions and are often insufficient to overcome the discomfort felt by patients.

E-Swin innovates… treatment: A new pulsed light technology servicing the ophthalmology ® industry - IRPL (Intense Regulated Pulsed Light). is a device that generates a new type of polychromatic pulsed light by producing perfectly calibrated and homogenously sequenced light pulses. The sculpted pulses are delivered under the shape of regulated train pulses. The energy, spectrum and time period are precisely set to stimulate the meibomian glands in order for them to return to their normal function. • edical CE (European Standard) certified in 2013.

Simple & fast • Session treatment only takes a few minutes. • Patients are comfortably seated on a treatment chair, preferably tilted. The metal eyewear protection are adjusted on the patients eyes. Then optical gel is applied on the cheekbone and the temporal areas. • A series of 5 flashes are applied under one eye, starting from the inner canthus uo to the temporal area, using the nominal power. • The same process is then repeated under the other eye. • The stimulation leads to the meibomian glands returning to their normal function in a very short time (a couple hours) following the treatment....

E*-EyQ treatment results The efficiency is nearly constant on all forms of Meibomian Gland Dysfunctions. On the other hand, it does not improve pathologies linked to aqueous or mucous phase or if there is a secondary infection that would need to be treated first.

Quantified efficiency Clinical studies have been conducted in France, New Zealand and China. These studies have shown: - A considerable improvement in the symptoms perceived by patients with a 90% satisfaction rate on the first 2 treatments. This improvement has been acknowledged from the patient's opinion about the discomfort levels before and after the treatment and the improvement of the fixation time while reading or watching television. This improvement is clearly felt from the initial session for the first couple of days and is increasing in time after the second and following treatments....
