Meivertor Single-Handed Upper and Lower Eyelid Eversion Tool Now Available

Introduced at the American Academy of Optometry meeting in San Diego, the Meivertor is designed to be a simple solution for an everyday challenge: eversion of the upper eyelid to image the meibomian glands. 

"Having images of the meibomian glands is important to providing a complete assessment of meibomian gland health, for the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of MGD. Yet everyday across the country, eye care professionals are reliant upon lower eyelid images only, because imaging the upper eyelid has always been a challenge, literally requiring three hands. The Meivertor changes this. Single-handed eversion of both the upper and lower lids is the solution," according to a company news release.

Meivertor was developed and brought to market by MaryAnn Klassen and Zach Vanderwel.

Meivertor is available at www.meivertor.com.
