What is Ophtaxia Eyelid Care Hygiene Wipes used for?
Ophtaxia wipes are designed to be applied to the eyelids with the eyes closed.
In the event of conjunctivitis, or any other ocular pathology, eyelids and eyelashes can become stuck together. Eyelids can also become inflamed.
Ophtaxia wipes have therefore been formulated to suit irritated eyelids.
Ophtaxia wipes can be used to treat :
- blepharitis, dry eyes,
- ocular allergy,
- eye and eyelid infections
- meibomian dysfunctions,
They gently cleanse secretions, impurities and crusts from the eye, eyelids and lashes, and soothe red, inflamed and sore eyelids, itching, irritation and eyelid discomfort. Ophtaxia wipes also facilitate drainage of the Meibomus glands.

How to use Ophtaxia Eyelid Care Hygiene Wipe?
Daily eye cleansing: after washing your hands, open the packaging and take out the Ophtaxia wipe. Unfold the wipe and wipe gently over the edge of the eyelids and eyelashes, keeping the eye closed.
In the event of difficult-to-remove secretions, inflammation of the eyelid margin (conjunctivitis, blepharo-conjunctivitis, stye) or occlusion of the tear duct, it's best to apply a warm, moist compress to the affected area. To do this, warm the still-sealed pack by immersing it in lukewarm water (40°C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
Once warm, open the package, take out the Ophtaxia wipe and, keeping it folded, gently massage the area for 1-2 minutes, keeping the eye closed.
Once warmed up, the wipe should be used within a few minutes or discarded.
For daily eye cleansing: After washing your hands, remove the wipe from its packaging and gently wipe the edge of your eyelids and lashes, keeping your eye closed.
