Introducing the Meibox and the Meibox Tower

THE first hd slit lamp mounted Meibographer

The Meibox Meibographer is the first HD slit lamp mounted meibographer designed for doctors by doctors.  Providing high resolution images of meibomian glands, the Meibox has helped take the mystery out of dry eyes.    

Innovative Form factor

​The Meibox was designed with quality, clinical efficiency and durability in mind.  Composed of a brushed aluminum chasis, the Meibox is unobtrusive and fits perfectly in the flow of any clinic.  Mounted on a slit lamp it can be placed in a centralized location as a screening tool or placed in any examination room for easy integration.  This design element has helped doctors adapt the technology to their clinic flow instead of the other way around.

Intelligent Software solutions

​Patient data is stored securely on our cloud based servers so they can be accessed by you anywhere in the world.  The design eliminates licensing costs associated with multiple viewing stations and allows you the ability to pull up images in multiple clinic locations. Vision processing technology is available for enhancing your images of the Meibomian Glands as well as intelligent lighting for quick adjustment of image brightness.

Tear Meniscus arrived!

As part of our continual upgrading process, we are now able to offer the ability for you to measure tear meniscus and perform pupil size comparisons to detect neurological abnormalities in light and in dark settings.  Updates will automatically be offered through your software. 

Testimonials:

"Identifying and treating ocular surface disease has become even more important with refractive cataract surgery. The Meibox Meibographer is a useful and convenient diagnostic test to not only help the clinician identify the source of the ocular surface disease and thereby target treatment, but to also help show the patient exactly what we see. This helps increase patient awareness and compliance during treatment, ultimately allowing for a better surgical result"

“Using meibography has been a very easy transition for the practice. Just as retinal photography helped us, we’re finding the Meibox to be quite easy for the patient to understand and appreciate which aspect of the eye we are studying. Identification of meibomian gland dysfunction is documented with the patient, and it allows for a conversation about preserving eyelid integrity and preservation of tear function...quite simply, patients are finally able to understand the complexities of anterior segment even better. From a functional standpoint, I find it essentially a ‘click and shoot’ instrument; techs could use it easily. And as an educational tool, we find compliance and motivation with the patient to be strengthened. As for acceptance as a ‘private pay’ procedure, I haven’t had one patient decline or question it’s importance. Putting Meibox into our office at the year end of 2016 was an excellent decision!”

"We are a 3 Doctor practice. We typically see 50-60 Examination per day ,with additional medical office visits. The Meibox allows our patients to visually assist them in comprehending their meibomian gland associated dry eye symptoms. This helps  the patient understand/accept our various dry eye treatment recommendations, which may include MiboFlo /Lipiflow /expression therapies, and the need for continuous medical eye care/visits. Our contact lens patients can also better understand their symptoms, and again, accept our recommendations for one day lenses, solution changes, and for therapy to increase their contact lens comfort/wearing time.

The unit's portability allows easy utilization in different exam lanes, and with minimal training, this is a procedure easily performed by  an  assistant. I have been using the instrument for unusual pupil documentation also. This past week we had a Horner's patient where we were able to capture their slow-tonic light/dark dilation, and also an Adie's patients tonic near to distance dilation."

The reason why I decided to go with Meibox. For us, it was a combination of factors... 3 month wait on oculus Keratograph and we needed new topographer sooner, better price point than Lipiscan, and really just getting to do the trial was huge in making me feel comfortable with it.  It's quick, the image quality is good and there's definitely a better understanding from patients when they get to see their glands.  I also really appreciate your attentiveness and flexibility and for me, having good service is value-add, and does motivate me for loyalty.  Personally for our practice, it will be less of a bottleneck to move it from room to room (I use 4 exam rooms) than having a standalone unit or combined topographer in the pretest area.  And going forward, I know I can take the Meibox with me to our other locations and continue to use it even if we do invest in another topographer/meibographer combo.

​"Regarding the Meibox and software, in general, it is so much easier explaining MGD and DES to patients with a picture of them versus a normal.  Before it was all theoretical to them and now they actually get it!  I hate dry eyes (I think that all eye care professionals do), but this has made dry eyes so much easier."

"The Meibox has been an amazing diagnostic and education tool. Patients are amazed and compliant with treatment once they see the atrophy in their meibomian glands. We’ve also received outstanding and personal service from the Meibox team.

Great device! Once patients see the changes in gland morphology, they will be more amenable to therapy. Will see increase in sales of Vitamin supplements, hot compresses, lid hygiene and even Lipiflow for those that use this. Necessary piece of equipment to screen for non -obvious MGD. Tim and staff are easy to work with. All cloud based, easy to access reports on any PC. Great price, you'll be surprised at how much MGD that you are missing. Many MGD pts do not report symptoms.

The Meibox is great! We have had it for 7 months. It is able to acquire images very easily. We have 4 exam rooms, so it is great because it is so mobile and plug/play. The cloud-based storage is simple and easy to access from any of our PCs. By far the best attribute is the price, because it is cheaper than similar instruments we can pass the savings onto the patient. Our Dry Eye clinic has grown significantly from it. Patient education/compliance is so much easier with it.
​Jason Sifrit, O.D.
We love the Meibox! We have been able to actually show patients their meibomian gland atrophy and this really helps them understand why they have symptoms and really helps to increase compliance with treatment! I would definitely recommend the Meibox to any primary care practice or a practice specializing in ocular surface disease. In addition, we have been able to charge patients for this test and this has helped increase our practice revenue.
​Elise Kramer, O.D.
Since introducing Meibox imaging, my diagnosis of MGD and OSD has tripled.  Before using meibography, I used external photography with vital dyes to explain to patients what I was seeing on the ocular surface.  With Meibox, patients see what I am seeing below the surface and are more inclined to start therapy earlier.  More importantly, the asymptomatic patients are willing to move forward with preventative treatment.
