Warming Efficiency of Warm Compresses Versus BLEPHASTEAM® in Eyelid Therapy

December 3, 2010 updated by: Laboratoires Thea

Phase I, Prospective, Comparative Study, Investigator Masked , Monocentric Measuring Warming Efficiency and Safety of Blephasteam® Versus Warm Compresses in Eyelid Therapy

The eyelid warming device is designed to relieve the symptoms of dysfunction of the glands in the eyelids

Phase I, prospective, comparative study, investigator masked , monocentric

Objectives are To assess and compare the warming and moisture of Blephasteam® device versus the warming and moisture of warm and moist compresses.

To assess and compare safety on the ocular surface after 10 minutes of Blephasteam® application versus after 10 minutes of warm and moist compresses application

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Temperature measurements
The temperature in the chamber of the goggles for Blephasteam device, or between the lid and the compresses for the moist and warm compress, will be evaluated in 10 consecutive measurements over a period of 10 minutes with a micro sensor at the lower lid margin of one randomly selected eye of 10 randomly selected subjects

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Humidity measurements
The humidity in the chamber of the goggles for Blephasteam device, or between the lid and the compresses for the moist and warm compress, will be evaluated in 10 consecutive measurements over a period of 10 minutes with a micro sensor at the lower lid margin of one randomly selected eye of 10 randomly selected subjects.
