NuLids: How it works
- Vision
If you suffer from dry, irritated eyes or struggle with conditions like blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction, you’re not alone. Many people experience daily discomfort without realising that eyelid health plays a major role in overall eye wellness. That’s where NuLids comes in, a small, at home device designed to restore and maintain healthy eyelid function.
In this blog, we will take you through NuLids function, what conditions it can help with, and the science behind the product.
What is NuLids?
NuLids is a small, handheld device that looks a bit like an electronic toothbrush, but it’s designed for your eyelids. Powered by gentle oscillation, NuLids works by cleaning and stimulating the base of your lashes, exactly where many eye issues begin.
Each sessions takes just 60 seconds. A soft disposable tip is attached to the device, paired with a lubricating gel, and gently guided along the eyelid. This motion helps clear away debris, bacteria, and oil buildup, while also giving the meibomian glands a much-needed nudge to start working again more productively.
What conditions can NuLids help with?
NuLids is helpful for people struggling with:
- Blepharitis– an inflammatory condition that affects the eyelids, often due to bacteria, mites, or poor hygiene.
- Meibomian gland dysfunction– when the tiny oil glands in your eyelids get blocked, tears evaporate too quickly, leading to chronic dryness.
- Dry eye disease– often because of meibomian gland dysfunction, dry eyes can cause burning, gritty sensations, and general discomfort.
The science behind NuLids
Healthy tears depend on healthy glands. The meibomian glands secrete oil that prevent your tears from evaporating too quickly. When they become clogged or sluggish, your eyes suffer. NuLids are designed to gently massage and stimulate these glands, improving oil flow and restoring tear film stability.
Clinical studies have shown that consistent use of NuLids can lead to:
- Reduced dryness, irritation, and redness
- Healthier, more active oil glands, and improved eye comfort
- Longer tear break up time (meaning your tears last longer on your eyes)
Why choose NuLids?
What makes NuLids so successful is its ability to treat the source, not just the symptoms. While warm compresses and artificial tears can offer temporary relief, NuLids goes a step further by actively improving both gland and eyelid function over time.
