Understand the service before you book
ZEST cleans the eyelid margins and lashes more thoroughly than ordinary home cleansing. It may be considered when an assessment identifies blepharitis, crusting, debris, demodex-related lid disease or dry eye associated with eyelid hygiene and biofilm build-up.
*Full fee is paid first. The usual Medicare rebate shown by the clinic is approximately $34; eligibility and final rebate can vary.
Could ZEST be relevant to your symptoms?
Itchy or crusty eyelids can have different causes. The optometrist assesses the lid margins first and then explains whether ZEST may suit the findings.
Your eyelids are itchy, crusty or inflamed.
There is visible lid-margin debris or biofilm build-up.
Blepharitis or demodex-related lid disease is part of the assessment findings.
You need an in-room eyelid clean as one part of a wider dry-eye plan.

ⓘ How the pricing works (Medicare, rebates, eligibility)

The clinic fee and typical rebate are shown beside each price. Eligibility and the final rebate can vary depending on your Medicare history, so if you would like your exact figure confirmed first, call us on 03 4243 3344.
