Wet the Dry Eye

Davis EyeCare has been part of a research team who have been working on a dry eye formulation for over ten years. Partnering with Alimera Sciences, Inc., Soothe Emollient has been introduced, as the first multi-dose, emollient-based artificial tear product for patients with dry eye. Soothe offers over-the-counter relief to the 12 million Americans suffering from dry eye, a condition resulting from the body's inability to produce enough tears to keep the eye surface lubricated. Soothe re-establishes the eye's protective lipid layer to reduce tear evaporation and seal essential moisture, giving patients up to 8 hours of long-lasting comfort. Studies show that approximately 15 percent of the 65-and-over population suffers from dry eye, a painful condition that dehydrates and irritates eyes. Dry eye is especially prevalent in women. In fact, a study published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology found that 3.2 million American women over the age of 50 suffer from dry eye. Certain medications, contact lenses, the environment and the air conditioner or furnace may also affect moisture levels in the eye. This product was inspired by and developed for dry eye patients. Because Soothe restores the compromised lipid layer of patient's tears regardless of the particular dry eye state, harmful evaporation is minimized and the ocular surface is protected. Ask the doctors at Davis EyeCare if you are a candidate for this revolutionary product.
