Traditional expression is often performed behind the slit lamp, which can limit ergonomics and hand freedom.

Using loupes instead allows the OD to:

• Maintain a more natural working posture
• Have both hands fully free and flexible
• Apply more controlled, precise pressure
• Adapt technique based on gland condition in real time
  

This translates into better expression quality and a more efficient procedure——especially when performed immediately after IPL.

Enhanced Visualization for Precise Expression

• Provides clear, detailed views of the eyelid margin and gland openings to support accurate assessment.
  
• Integrated illumination and magnification help reveal subtle gland structures during expression.
  
• Enhanced visibility enables more controlled expression, reducing guesswork and unnecessary pressure.
  
• Provides flexible handling, allowing clinicians to express glands more easily than with a slit lamp.

Targeted Expression from the Gland Base

• Tapered design allows access to the base of meibomian glands
  for effective expression.
• Wider, elongated paddles provide secure contact, reducing
  slippage and patient discomfort.
• Supports thorough release of meibum, promoting tear film
  stability and symptom relief.
