| description | Methods and apparatuses of treating meibomian glands are disclosed. An apparatus suitable to treat meibomian glands comprises a heat source, a controller, and a pressure applicator. The heat source is configured to apply regulated heat to an eyelid containing at least one meibomian gland to reach a temperature adequate to melt at least one obstruction within the at least one meibomian gland and place the at least one obstruction in a melted state. The controller is configured to maintain the regulated heat for a time period adequate to melt the at least one obstruction and place the at least one obstruction in the melted state. The pressure applicator is configured to be placed into direct contact with the eyelid and apply a pressure over at least a portion of the eyelid to express the at least one obstruction from the at least one meibomian gland. |
