Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for melting and expressing material from blocked glands in a mammalian eyelid comprising a massager and a deformable eyelid interface having a heater and arranged so that, in use, a massaging nodule causes the eyelid interface to massage the eyelid. The apparatus additionally comprises a scrubbing element and further comprises a reservoir in fluid connection with the eyelid interface for the storage and subsequent application to the eyelid of fluid and or gel which may be for lubrication or may contain pharmaceutical ingredients. Also disclosed is a method for unblocking blocked glands.
