JETT PEN
TREATMENT
Jett
The Jett Pen is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that uses controlled electromagnetic energy to improve eyelid health and support natural tear film function. By targeting the meibomian glands and surrounding eyelid tissue, this treatment addresses one of the leading causes of Dry Eye Disease: Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
Dry eye symptoms can occur when any of the three layers of the tear film become compromised. Patients often experience burning, stinging, irritation, fluctuating vision, excessive watering, light sensitivity, and a persistent gritty sensation. The tear film is made up of three layers: a lipid (oil) layer, an aqueous (water) layer, and a mucin (mucus) layer. Together, these layers protect and lubricate the surface of the eye.
When the meibomian glands become blocked or inflamed, the quality of the oil layer decreases, causing tears to evaporate too quickly. Over time this can lead to chronic discomfort, inflammation, blepharitis, recurrent styes, and chalazia.
How does it work?
Using specialized silver non-ablative tips, the Jett Pen delivers precise electromagnetic energy to the eyelids without damaging the surface. This energy stimulates cellular activity, improves circulation, and supports healthier gland function while reducing inflammation along the eyelid margin.
The treatment helps improve the quality of meibum produced by the meibomian glands, allowing the tear film to remain stable for longer periods. By creating a healthier eyelid environment, the Jett Pen also reduces bacterial load and supports patients struggling with blepharitis, recurrent styes, and chalazia.
As the tissue surrounding the glands becomes healthier and more functional, patients often notice improvements in comfort and lubrication. It is important to begin treatment before gland function is completely lost or significant gland truncation occurs. While we can improve gland performance, we cannot restore glands that have already been lost.
In addition to its dry eye benefits, Jett stimulates natural collagen production around the eyes, improving skin quality and supporting healthier eyelid structure. This dual benefit makes it an excellent option for patients seeking both improved ocular comfort and enhanced eyelid health.
