Interventions
Systane iLux Treatment
The Systane iLux is an approved thermal pulsation device to treat dry eye disease. The application of heat and compression to both eyelids melts meibum in the obstructed glands to restore the secretion and production of meibum to the eye. The Systane iLux will only be administered to the eye to undergo cataract surgery.
