Claim 0:
1. An ophthalmic specialty instrument configured for treating meibomian gland dysfunction, the instrument comprising:
a main body having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the main body further comprises:
a first elongated arm having a first longitudinal plane; and
a second elongated arm having a second longitudinal plane;

wherein the first elongated arm and the second elongated arm are stacked in a vertical direction such that the first longitudinal plane and the second longitudinal plane are connected and extended from a common pivotal connection point at the proximal end of the main body; and
wherein the first elongated arm and the second elongated arm are bent downwardly and outwardly from the first longitudinal plane and the second longitudinal plane respectively to form a first angle and a second angle at the distal end of the main body and comprise continuous flat surfaces between the distal and the proximal end;
a first pressure plate attached to the first elongated arm at the distal end of the main body;
a second pressure plate attached to the second elongated arm at the distal end of the main body;
wherein the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate possess concave curvatures; and
wherein a thickness of the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate decreases from a distal end of each pressure plate to a proximal end of each pressure plate.
