Finally a remedy for dry eyes !

Soreness, redness and a gritty feeling in the eyes: the symptoms are well known, but the causes are less so.

Dry eyes is normally caused by the quality of tears and not the quantity. Tears have three layers; a mucous layer, an aqueous layer, and an oily layer, which prevents evaporation of the tear film.In 85% of cases, it is the oily layer that causes dry eyes, when the Meibomian glands in our eyelids, which produce the oil, become dysfunctional. Prolonged congestion of the Meibomian glands eventually leads to the progressive atrophy of theses glands.

LidHygenix was developed by Dr. David Palay, a practicing eye surgeon in Atlanta Georgia. Dr. Palay sees many patients every day in his office complaining of itching, burning and stinging of the eyes and lids. In addition to dry eyes and allergies, some of these patients symptoms were related to poor lid hygiene.

Over time, debris and bacteria build up on the eyelashes contributing to ocular irritation. A “biofilm” forms on the eyelids. This biofilm not only enters the ocular surface, but is a breeding ground for bacterial and parasitic (demodex) infections. In addition, many patients have inflammation of the oil glands in their eyelids (blepharitis), and daily hygiene helps remove the staph bacteria that contributes to the inflammation. Hygiene also removes the oily debris from the glands which can irritate the ocular surface.

LidHygenix, is also an extremely effective makeup remover, and inadequate makeup removal can contribute to ocular irritation. Dr. Palay’s philosophy is that patients should clean their eyelids every day. Imagine the condition of a patient’s scalp, if they did not shampoo their hair regularly? Although, there were other lid cleansers on the market, Dr Palay found that many patients actually complained of worse irritation after using these products. His research showed that the products on the market had harsh chemicals and preservatives that limited the ability of patients to incorporate them into their daily hygiene regimen. Dr. Palay worked with a cosmetic chemist to develop a product that was extremely gentle, yet effective, and could be used daily without irritation. LidHygenix was developed over a 5 year period where Dr. Palay refined the product to produce a perfect balance of gentleness with effectiveness. Compared to other lid cleansers on the market, LidHygenix contains a natural preservative derived from radish root, versus a chemical preservative. LidHygenix is the only lid cleanser on the market which contains the natural moisturizer, Aloe. Dr. Palay recommends using LidHygenix foam in the shower. The warmth of the shower helps open the oil glands of the lids. Similar to shampoo, the foam dispenser produces a lather that can be used to scrub the eyelashes with the fingertips. The water of the shower can then be used to rinse the foam off once the eyelashes are cleansed. Dr. Palay tells his patients to shampoo their eye lashes at the same time that they shampoo their hair. One bottle of Foam provides approximately 150 applications, making it a very economical way to achieve lid hygiene. Used as part of a daily cleansing routine, LidHygenix will help foster lid health and hygiene.

About Dr. Palay: Dr Palay received his undergraduate degree from Duke University, Summa Cum Laude. He attended medical school and completed his residency at Emory University. He did a fellowship in corneal surgery at the University of Iowa. Dr Palay is the author of two major textbooks of ophthalmology, Cornea Color Atlas, and Ophthalmology For the Primary Care Physician. Cornea Color Atlas is regarded as the gold standard for corneal disease. He has been featured as one of the best ophthalmologists in Atlanta Magazine and Best Doctors in America.

Eyedetec Medical has developed and patented EyeGiene® to improve the condition of patients with dry eyes and eyelid complaints.

The convenient and easily carried EyeGiene® system applies gentle, therapeutic warmth to the eyelids for up to 10 minutes, at home or when traveling. The relaxing warmth enhances normal eyelid and tear functioning by improving the flow of natural oils from your eyelid’s glands. The resulting durable tear film reduces eye irritation and its accompanying cornea and conjunctiva irritation.

Invented by an Ophthalmologist to improve the care of patients eyes naturally, EyeGiene® is an advanced solution for improved eye health.

The EyeGiene® Insta-Warmth System combines a soft mask with disposable warm packs for the application of localized heat therapy to the eyelids treating:

Dry eyes
Meibomian gland dysfunction
Blepharitis, Stye, Chalazia

EyeGiene®:

Is Portable, Convenient, Safe, Comfortable and Easy to Use
Delivers the Right Temperature, for the Right Time
Re-establishes and Stabilizes the Tear Film…Naturally

The EyeGiene® Insta-Warmth System utilizes a unique source of heat, which rapidly produces warmth for up to 10 minutes. In addition to a relaxing sensation, the warmth is known to improve the flow of natural oils in the glands in the eyelids that are critical for normal eyelid and tear film function.

Eyegiene system FAQ

Q: How will EyeGiene® help my dry eyes or blepharitis?
A: Both evaporative dry eyes and blepharitis are caused by a lack of meibomian gland oil being supplied to the tear film on the surface of the eye. By warming the eyelids with the EyeGiene Insta-Warmth System, the meibomian gland oil is thinned so it flows more easily onto the surface of the eye.

Q: What temperature does the EyeGiene® System reach? Will it burn my eyelids?
A: The EyeGiene® System is designed to provide 104-105F (40C) of warmth to the eyelids. While this temperature is significantly below the temperature commonly recognized as harmful to the skin, if you are sensitive to warmth, place the warming unit into the eye mask with the empty chamber towards the eye. This lowers the temperature provided to the eyelid by 2F. If it is still too warm for you, stop use.

Q: Does EyeGiene® System get hot enough to melt meibomian gland oils?
A: Yes, in most studies done with warm compresses, the target temperature for assisting in thinning the meibomian gland oils is 104-105F (40C) and this is the temperature provided by the Insta-Warmth System when used in conjunction with the EyeGiene eye mask.

Q: How long does an EyeGiene® warming unit last and how will I know when to take the EyeGiene eye mask off?
A: EyeGiene® System reaches it target temperature within 30 seconds and will continue to provide that warmth for up to 10 minutes. It is recommended that the EyeGiene eye mask be removed when you no longer feel the warmth., which may be longer than 10 minutes.

Q: Can I put two EyeGiene® warming units into one side of the EyeGiene eye mask?
A: You should NOT put more than one warming unit into one side of the eye mask at any one time.

Q: To activate the EyeGiene® warming unit, how do I know which side to squeeze?
A: The chamber that should be pressed firmly to activate the EyeGiene warming unit has “Press” imprinted on it.

Q: Does it come with the EyeGiene® eye mask?
A: The Eyegiene® System starter kits come complete with one eye mask and warming units. The refill kit has only warming units and no eye mask.

Q: Can I wash the EyeGiene® eye mask? How often should I wash it and how many times can I wash it?
A: The EyeGiene® eye mask can be washed by hand with warm soapy water or in the washing machine on the Gentle or Delicates cycle and should last up to 6 months with regular washings. Depending on the severity of your eye condition, weekly to monthly washing is suggested.

Q: Do I need a sink, stove, or microwave to use the EyeGiene® System?
A: That’s the beauty of the EyeGiene® System, it’s portable and convenient so no microwave, stove, or boiling is ever needed…just activate the warming unit and dispose of the warming unit when it is no longer providing warmth.

Q: Are there any conditions where the EyeGiene® System might not be suitable?
A: As with any product that produces warmth, individuals may react differently, and if there is a concern patients should ask their doctor prior to use. In addition, do not use if you have recently undergone any surgical procedures on your eyes including LASIK or cataract surgery without consulting your eye care specialist first.

Eyegiene system instructions

  1. Prior to activating warming units, try on mask, adjusting to fit snugly against your face in the area of your eyes, then remove.
  2. Take one warming unit out of carton. Note seal in center of warming unit separating liquid from non-liquid chamber.
  3. Fold and squeeze chamber side of warming unit marked “Press Here” firmly, to force liquid across seal to mix with non-liquid chamber. You will hear a slight pop, unfold and squeeze again to ensure the liquid has been fully mixed with the other side of the chamber.
  4. Immediately after activating, fold warming unit on seal and insert with empty liquid (”Press Here”) chamber away from eye into opening of one side of the eye mask.
  5. If applying to both eyes at same time, activate a second unit and insert into other opening of mask. Place no more than one warming unit into one side of eye mask at any one time.
  6. Place eye mask on area of eyes. For maximum effectiveness, we suggest that you wear eyemask until you no longer feel activated warming units providing warmth (8-10 minutes).

During use, if your eyes feel dry or uncomfortable the Alpha Eye may be lifted from the bottom in order to place additional drops into eyes.

After a night’s hydratation eyes should feel clammy or moist on the outside and hydrated on the inside. If this does not occur, the amount of drops should be increased during night.

alpha-eye-user-tipsOn awakening immediately place eye drops into each eye, even if the eyes feel moist and comfortable. Doing this will eliminate the need to frequently use eye drops during the day.

Use of sprayed water is optional. Spray water onto the liner before placing inside the mask. This will bring a feeling of relaxation. Hydratation and relief can be achieved in 30 minutes and this method of treatment can also be used for short periods of time during the day. The Alpha Eye is lightweight and can be folded to fit comfortably inside a pocket or purse. Make very certain that the liner is covering entire eye area.

ErgoFit models provide immediate, measurable relief from dry eye symptoms. They are specially designed top help retain corneal moisture and block tear evaporation. ErgoFit eyewear is not a drug, has no side effect and won’t interact with medications. ErgoFit eyewear is safe to wear continuously but can provide relief even if only worn occasionally.

  • LASIK surgery
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • High wind
  • Diabetes
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • High blood pressure
  • Aging
  • Ocular Graves disease

At 7eye, two distinct solutions are offered to dry eye sufferers, depending on the severity of their symptoms or the environment the eyewear is needed for.

Mild dry eye

People with mild dry eye symptoms can benefit from our SPF75 models.

Severe dry eye

People with more severe dry eye symptoms may prefer the more complete protection of a SPF100 frame.

ErgoFit SPF75

Mild dry eye

AirDam

The thermoplastic rubber AirDam that lines the perimeter of the inside of the frame of the SPF75 models breaks up wind flow before it can reach your eye, just like the small wind barrier that pops up when you open a car’s sun roof. The AirDam is about 75% effective in knocking down wind and blocking out peripheral glare. The AirDam won’t absorb water, sunscreen or make-up and can be cleaned with the same soapy water you’d use to clean your lenses.

mi_ima_51f71deef7

The design of SPF75 models allow some venting between the frame and the face, yet they are still so close-fitting that many people prefer the filt and sealing characteristics of SPF75 models over the flagship SPF100 series.

mi_ima_8b02806e09

The contoured surface of the AirDam sits comfortably on the skin, knocking down about 75% of the wind and glare that can impair your vision and make your eyes miserable. Made from thermoplastic rubber, the AirDam won’t irritate sknin and is virtually indestructible.

ErgoFit SPF100

Severe Dry Eye

AirShield

The technology that makes 7eye the superior eyewear solution for dry eye sufferers is the patented, non air-permeable AirShield seal. It consists of a removable, multi-material eyecup that fills the space between the frame front and the wearer’s face, effectively blocking wind, glare and irritants out while trapping moisture in. Filtered vents manage airflow within AirShield and help keep your prescription lenses clear.

mi_ima_315113c113

7eye’s patented AirShield not only protects your eyes from harsh irritants and harmful peripheral glare, it also traps humidity inside the eyecup, maximizing the therapeutic benefits of eye drops.

mi_ima_73203f436d

AirShield is removable for those occasions when full protection isn’t required, or to replace a damaged or worn part. Instructions on how to easily remove and re-attach AirShield are provided in the box.

mi_ima_b5607f2156

To ensure healthy air flow around the eye, foam-lined vents allow filtered air to circulate inside AirShield. No other eyewear offers this exclusive, patented protection from harmful airborne irritants and allergens.

Prescription Lenses

7eye ErgoFit are available in most prescriptions. Power ranges available are +/- 3.00D Sphere and up to -2.00D Cylinder. Bifocals can also be added to any distance prescription. Higher prescriptions may be available with an additional adapter.

Your eye care professional will help you determine the proper style and fit for your prescription. Some labs may be able to provide progressive lenses.

Please check with your optician before you buy to make sure that you can add your prescription in the glasses.

Without proper eyelid hygiene, oil, debris and other contaminants can accumulate on you eyelids and eyelashes resulting in irritation which may develop into more serious conditions. Relieve symptoms and prevent them from progressing by adopting a complete eyelid regimen.

Meibomian glands are oil-producing glands located in both the upper and lower eyelids. This oil slowly releases onto the surface of the eye creating the outermost layer of the tear film. Meibomian gland dysfunction develops when the meibomian glands become inflamed and a thick paste-like substance is secreted or no oil is produced at all. This lack of oil on the tear film causes the middle aqueous layer to evaporate resulting in a condition called evaporative dry eye. Severe blockage can also lead to swollen, enlarged glands (a cyst) or even infection.

People dealing with moderate to severe dry eye need a lot more than just eye drops to relieve their symptoms. When you don’t have dry eyes, you do not realize the movement of air over the surface of your eyes near a fan or even when walking. However, when you do have dry eyes, the sensation of the air over your eyes can be very unpleasant, see downright debilitating.

This is where Dust Buster eyewear becomes very interesting. These glasses creates a barrier between your eyes and the environment. It has the effect of reducing the discomfort and symptoms associated with dry eyes because your eyes are found to be much less exposed to external elements such as air flow, wind, dust, etc.. In addition, if you instill a drop of artificial tears in your eyes just before you put the glasses, you create a humid environment very relaxing for your eyes.

You are probably wondering what is the difference between the three models … It is only a matter of size. Model I is the smallest and model III is the largest. Also note that it is not possible to put prescription lenses in the Dust Buster III model due to the shape of the lenses. However, Dust Buster models I and II can accommodate prescription lenses. I invite you to see the specifications of prescription lenses in the descrption products.

It can sometimes be difficult to combine the look with efficiency when looking for goggles to protect our eyes against dryness. It is for this reason that I like the Dust Buster glasses because they are an “acceptable” alternative as for the look and they are not expensive. We are done with the days that people who have dry eyes had to wear swimming goggles or even worse diving goggles.

Personally, I use mine mainly in the evening after a long day at work. I wear them while I watch TV, when I read a book and especially when I’m working on the computer. I also use them when I have to drive for a long time on the highway and on winter time in the car when I have no choice but to put the heater in the car. In my case, I no longer need to wear them all day long… Only when needed!

Whenever I put these glasses, I always take the time to put artificial tears in my eyes immediately before. I also noticed that the effects of moist chamber glasses are cumulative over time. Ie by combining this with other treatments, you can expect that your symptoms improve. Remember that to protect your eyes against the elements that aggravate the symptoms of dry eye can make a difference. This protection can be short-term or longer and it is unique to each according to your needs.

This section refers to the use of warm compresses for those who suffer from meibomian gland dysfunction or evaporative dry eye type.

Remember that you should always consult your health care professional. Do not rely only on what you read on the internet.

The use of warm compresses in the treatment of evaporative dry eye or due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is well documented. In fact, many people with MGD reported an improvement in the quality of their tears and therefore their ocular comfort after using warm compresses on a daily basis.

Chronic dry eye is characterized by red eyes, burning, irritation, discomfort, eye fatigue, feeling of sand in the eyes and even watery eyes! Indeed, watery eyes indicates that you produce reflex tears because your tears are not good quality. Yes, sometimes watery eyes is a indication of dry eyes !!!

The majority of people who suffer from evaporative dry eye or MGD produce enough tears. The problem is not the quantity but the quality of it. Tears are poorer quality because the meibomian glands are not working properly or not working at all.

Meibomian glands are located on the border of the lid margin close to the lash. They produce a substance called meibum. This meibum is actually a lipid that serves to stabilize our tears on the surface of the eye to retard evaporation. When the lipid layer no longer work, our tears evaporate too quickly between each blink and that’s when appears the symptoms of evaporative dry eye.

The meibomian glands normally produce a fluid transparant lipid which spreads easily on the cornea and conjunctiva with each blink. When we are affected by a meibomian gland dysfunction, lipid produced by these glands is much thicker (as in toothpaste) and therefore more difficult to be secreted. In addition, it is of lesser quality. When the lipid is not secreted, it happens that the glands become clogged which has the effect of maintaining the dry eye viscious cycle.

It is for this very specific reason that hot compresses are used for the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction.
