IMED Lid and Lash
i-MED Lid and Lash (aka I-LID ‘N LASH) Treatment at Urban Optometry
At Urban Optometry in Thornhill, we understand how important eyelid and lash health is to maintaining overall eye comfort and clear vision. The i-MED Lid and Lash treatment is a professional-grade cleansing therapy designed to remove bacteria, debris, and oil buildup from the eyelid margins and eyelashes.
Every day, natural oils, dead skin cells, and environmental pollutants can accumulate along the lash line. Over time, this buildup can cause irritation, dryness, redness, or inflammation — especially for those who wear makeup or suffer from blepharitis (eyelid inflammation). The i-MED Lid and Lash system gently cleanses the delicate eye area, helping to restore healthy oil balance, reduce inflammation, and improve tear quality. The result is fresher, cleaner eyes that feel and look their best.
The Benefits of i-MED Lid and Lash
At Urban Optometry, our i-MED Lid and Lash treatment offers both immediate comfort and long-term improvement in eyelid and ocular health. Here are some of the key benefits:
Reduces Redness, Itching, and Irritation
The treatment removes bacteria and debris that cause inflammation, leaving your eyelids feeling calm and refreshed.
Improves Dry Eye Symptoms
By clearing blocked oil glands along the lash line, i-MED helps your eyes produce better-quality tears, reducing dryness and discomfort.
Promotes Healthier Eyelashes
Clean eyelids mean stronger, fuller lashes. The treatment gently exfoliates the base of the lashes, supporting natural lash growth.
Safe for Sensitive Skin and Eyes
i-MED uses hypoallergenic and preservative-free ingredients, making it ideal for even the most sensitive eyes.
Supports Long-Term Eye Health
Regular lid hygiene helps prevent recurring infections like blepharitis, Meibomian gland dysfunction, and styes, protecting your vision and comfort.

Treatment Areas for i-MED Lid and Lash
The i-MED Lid and Lash treatment is designed to deeply cleanse and rejuvenate the eyelid margins, lash line, and meibomian glands — the areas responsible for producing the oil layer of your tears. At Urban Optometry, this treatment can address:
- Blepharitis (eyelid inflammation caused by bacteria or oil buildup)
- Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) (blocked or inflamed glands that lead to dry eyes)
- Eye Makeup Residue and Buildup
- Irritation and Redness Along the Lash Line
- Prevention of Styes and Chalazia
By keeping the eyelids and lashes clean, the i-MED treatment enhances tear stability, relieves irritation, and promotes overall ocular comfort.
Who Are Good Candidates for i-MED Lid and Lash
You may be an excellent candidate for i-MED Lid and Lash if you experience red, irritated, or crusty eyelids, have been diagnosed with blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), or notice flakes and debris along your lash line. It’s also ideal for people who wear eye makeup daily, use lash extensions, or struggle with dry eye symptoms. Even if you don’t have major eye irritation, regular lid hygiene with i-MED can help maintain healthy eyelids and prevent future problems. At Urban Optometry, our optometrists will carefully evaluate your eye health and recommend a customized i-MED treatment plan tailored to your comfort and needs.
How i-MED Lid and Lash Is Provided
At Urban Optometry, your i-MED Lid and Lash treatment is performed in a clean, professional, and comfortable setting. The process begins with a gentle cleansing of your eyelid margins and lashes using the i-MED professional solution — a medical-grade cleanser formulated to dissolve oils, bacteria, and impurities. Our optometrist or trained technician carefully massages and exfoliates the lash line to remove buildup and unclog oil glands.
The treatment is painless, quick, and soothing, taking only about 10 to 15 minutes.
