How Do Zocular Products Fight Dry Eye?

If you suffer from dry eye syndrome, you know how uncomfortable and frustrating it can be. Fortunately, some treatments can help to relieve the irritating symptoms. Treating the underlying cause of the dry eye can provide long-term relief.
 

Symptoms of Dry Eye 

People experience various dry eye symptoms, depending on the cause and severity of the condition. The symptoms include:

• Eye irritation or redness
• A burning or tingling sensation
• Itchy eyes with a feeling of something in them
• Excessive tearing or eye-watering
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight or bright lights

An eye exam will determine the underlying cause of the symptoms. 
 

Link Between Dry Eye and Acne 

There are various causes of dry eye, including allergies, blepharitis, and MGD (meibomian gland dysfunction). Studies have shown there is a link between acne and dry eye. This relationship underscores the significance of skin and eyelid hygiene in mitigating the inflammatory reactions responsible for these symptoms. Meibomian gland dysfunction, similar to inflamed oil glands on acneic skin, is the most common cause of dry eye syndrome. Inflammation and biofilm from the glands can lead to irritation and redness on the eyes or face. 
 

Treatments that focus on skin and eyelid hygiene target the underlying inflammatory response, which can help prevent the worsening of the clinical problem. Eye doctors recommend dry eye treatment depending on the severity of symptoms and underlying cause. 
 

Zocular® Products for Dry Eye

When clinical results matter, eye specialists turn to Zocular. Zocular products contain a patented activated okra complex (Zokrex™) that helps to optimize eyelid health immediately. Doctors can perform a deep cleanse of the eyelid like a dental cleaning using an office procedure called ZEST that offers dramatic clinical improvement within minutes. 
 

The all-natural treatment is safe, simple, and effective. Zocular provides a wide range of home products, which include eyelid wipes, foam cleansers, and moisturizers, to maintain and accentuate the therapeutic effects of any in-office procedures such as IPL, radio frequency, low-level light therapy, LipiFlow, TearCare, or ZEST. 
 

How Zocular Products Fight Dry Eye 

Oils, dirt, Demodex mites, and bacteria on the eyelids can block the glands or cause the eyes to burn, itch, and water from inflammation. Zocular products gently and efficiently remove biofilm from the eyelids. Removing the irritants before they get into the eyes helps to promote ocular health and prevent chronic redness and discomfort. In those with significant lid margin blepharitis, MGD, or Demodex, dry eye specialists often employ the ZEST procedure to deep cleanse the eyelid and remove the offending biofilm. This spa-like procedure takes 5-7 minutes, and patients feel at least 50% better within 20 minutes of ZEST. After ZEST, one or two Zocular home products are used to amplify and perpetuate the clinical benefits from ZEST, which is repeated every 6 months to ensure ocular health is in tip-top shape.

Artificial tear drops provide temporary relief, but irritants in the eyes can continue to cause discomfort. Zocular products address the root cause of multiple problems arising from the eyelids and ocular surface, ranging from MGD to Demodex to allergies and much more. 
 

Patients who suffer from eye irritation due to dirt and debris buildup on the eyelids can benefit from using Zocular and should consult with their eye doctors.
