The revolutionary introduction of the 3D Meibomian Gland imaging gives two big advantages. Firstly, it enables to confirm the presence of abnormal glands compared to a healthy subject in a 3D view; secondly, it provides a clear image to share with the patients, to help explain the potential reason of their discomfort.

AUTO INTERFEROMETRY
The software automatically detects the coloured lipids on the patient's eye and determines lipid layer thickness (LLT). In a few seconds it iS possible to get automatically relevant data to understand functionality Of Meibomian Glands.

Automated lipid layer analysis
The ICP software analyses lipid layer thickness and allows to understand the functionality of meibomian glands. lt is possible to carry out a follow up after MG treatment detecting an increase in secretion.

CYLINDIRICAL DANDRUFF AND BLEPHARITIS
The human skin surface is known to house millions Of bacteria, though some people have more than the average number. Blepharitis is an inflammation caused by some bacteria that lie at the base of eyelashes. They produce dandruff-like flakes in the skin, which lead to infection and inflammation.

A complete blink, in which the upper eyelid touches the lower eyelid, contributes to the health of the ocular surface by providing a fresh layer of tears as well as maintaining optical integrity thanks to a smooth tear film over the cornea.

A typical blink pattern can be observed as approximately one blink every five seconds, ie 11 blinks per minute. Incomplete blink can often be observed in contact lens wearers, and frequent blink may be a result of an attempt to maintain a relatively thin lipid layer.

The evaluation of the lipid layer is part of your overall Dry Eye Assessment. Knowing what is causing Dry Eye will help determine the best treatment option. After your assessment is complete, the Optometrist will discuss your treatment options. Lipid pattern classification, incidence and clinical interpretation is adapted from Guillon & Guillon description incidence (%) with estimated thickness (nm). Observation of blinking frequency and completeness should also be considered - while listening to history and symptoms can be an ideal time to observe this.

Meibomian Gland dysfunction (MGD) is characterised by chronic, diffuse abnormalities of the Meibomian Glands and altered secretion and chemical composition of meibum.

The System automatically analyses the images taken through a sensitive infrared camera (NIR) to locate the Meibomian Glands in a guided way:
- An exam valid both for the upper and the lower eyelids
- Automatic percentage of the Meibomian Gland loss area

Acquiring an image of the conjunctiva, it will be possible to compare the patient's condition with different international grading scales.

Low tear production may result in aqueous tear deficiency (ATD) and cause dry eye symptoms.
However, measuring the tear volume is difficult since the methods available nowadays are invasive and irritating.

(MD L.VIGO Studio Carones Milano) is already provided and suggest treatment on our KOL experience.

All users can customize their own protocol adding treatment procedure to be chosen automatically right after performing the exams (this makes it possible as well to delegate the diagnosis to an assistant).

DIAGNOSIS SUGGESTION
Ocular surface data and pathology classification. Thanks to Studio Medico Carones with MD. Luca Vigo's experience, the ICP includes a suggestion algorithm able to share a possible treatment approach for each patient.

TREATMENT MANAGING
Through TREATMENT MANAGING tab, the software allows the physician to fill in the database with all drugs, integrators and treatments available in his practice. Any treatment as vitamins, Omega-3, eye drops, hot packs and IPURadiofrequency, can be loaded on the software to prescribe the products of the brands that the doctor prefers. The whole report with the diagnosis and treatment suggested by the ophthalmologist will be printed directly.
