MORE INFORMATION ONTreatment of
blepharitis with K Laser
Dry eye disease is extremely common and can cause distressing and debilitating symptoms. One of the most common causes is meibomian gland disease/blepharitis.
When conventional treatments like hot compresses and eyedrops do not control the symptoms, a treatment targeting the meibomian glands directly is required. The K Laser treatment targets the meibomian glands directly.
It is a treatment device featuring a unique wavelengths spectrum and train of pulses enabling the stimulation of the lacrimal and Meibomian glands and the reduction of inflammation. These mechanisms of action help the improvement of the tear film quality and the reduction of the major symptoms associated with dry eye diseases.
K Laser Blue® is a three-wavelength device, using monochromatic light at 445 nm, 660 nm, and 970 nm with a focused handpiece. The 3 wavelengths are absorbed by different tissues as in Figure 2 each contributing to the overall effect. The treatment was delivered over both upper and lower eyelids overlying the meibomian gland positions. 3 minutes per eye (1,5 minutes on the lower eyelid and 1,5 minutes on the upper eyelid). CW of all 3 wavelengths is used. The eye is shielded with a metal contact lens. The total energy used is 108J (approximately 7.2 J/cm²) per eye (temperature 38/40°C maximum).Figure 2. Wavelengths used by K laser and tissue absorption curves.
- 445nm interacts with melanin and haemoglobin. It is shown to be highly effective against numerous bacterial strains.
- 660nm interacts with water containing tissues as well as haemoglobin and melanin.
- 970nm converts energy to heat by interacting with water molecules
