Transforming dry eye care through mechanism-based disease control
Meibum Scientific is a clinician-led organization advancing a mechanism-based understanding of dry eye disease and blepharitis, grounded in real-world clinical practice. The company was founded to address the disconnect between how these diseases are traditionally treated and how they behave biologically in patients.
Who We Are
Meibum Scientific is focused on redefining dry eye and blepharitis as treatable inflammatory diseases, rather than chronic symptomatic conditions. Our work centers on understanding disease behavior at the glandular and subdermal level and translating those insights into protocolized, repeatable clinical solutions.
The company was formed in response to persistent treatment failure observed in patients receiving conventional therapies that address symptoms without resolving underlying pathology.
Our History
Meibum Scientific emerged from decades of real-world clinical observation in the treatment of dry eye disease, blepharitis, and meibomian gland dysfunction. Repeated failures with conventional approaches prompted deeper investigation into the role of biofilm-driven inflammation and gland dysfunction. These observations contributed to the identification of Deep Subdermal Blepharitis (DSB) and the development of a biofilm-centric disease model that underpins Meibum Scientific’s platform, including the REVVE™ protocol. This work established the foundation for a mechanism-based, protocol-driven approach designed to achieve durable disease control rather than transient symptom relief.
Mission and Philosophy
Meibum Scientific’s mission is to redefine dry eye disease and blepharitis as treatable inflammatory conditions by addressing their root cause.
The company emphasizes mechanism-based intervention, protocolized clinical care, and scientific rigor to deliver durable outcomes.
