Embodiment Construction

[0061] In the treatment of conditions commonly associated with evaporative dry eye syndrome (DES), such as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), the meibomian glands may be pressed or squeezed mechanically to squeeze the solidified meibomian glands out of the glands Fat, thus helping to treat MGD. Forceps are often used to apply pressure on the meibomian glands. The forceps can be modified to create a pressure gradient across the meibomian glands to direct meibum, as well as any other meibomian gland secretions, toward the meibomian gland orifice. The forceps can be configured to further provide clearing of tissue along the upper and / or lower eyelids to facilitate removal of any obstructions from the main duct and orifice openings of the meibomian glands, meibomian gland channels, and meibomian gland orifices , such as concentrated oils and meibum plugs. Additionally and / or alternatively, the forceps may be configured to also provide thermal treatment, eg, of the eyelid surface...

Abstract

Forceps treatment systems are described in which a forceps apparatus may generally comprise a first handle and a second handle coupled to one another near or at respective proximal ends. A first paddle may be coupled to the first handle and define a first inner surface, a second paddle may be coupled to the second handle and define a second inner surface which is positioned in apposition to the first inner surface. Furthermore, a debriding member may extend proximally from the first and second handles and reduce and curve gently to define a debriding edge for debriding tissue in proximity to one or more meibomian glands. The forceps apparatus may be used in combination with a heat treatment for treating one or more meibomian glands in a subject.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is a continuation of US Patent Application Serial No. 16 / 127,870, filed September 11, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0003] field of invention [0004] The present invention relates to methods and devices for the treatment of dry eye syndrome and other related conditions. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and devices for the treatment of various eye-related conditions, such as dry eye syndrome, using pliers embodiments configured for meibomian gland extrusion, as well as adhesive strips expression) and to clear obstructions, the adhesive strip is contoured or shaped specifically to adhere to selected areas around the patient's eye or the periorbital area. [0005] Background of the invention [0006] Tears are a complex mixture of water, lipids, mucus, proteins, and electrolytes, and this mixture helps maintain a smooth, lubricated, and optic...
