Treats the underlying causes of dry eye
Dry eyes affects about 20 million Americans. The BioTears® formula is a unique way to address dry eye by stimulating the natural production of lubricants and supporting elements. Many different things cause dry eye syndrome: the normal aging of tear glands, as well as extended use of contact lenses and environmental pollutants. BioTears® contains a proprietary blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids; the nutrient co-factors, vitamins A, C, E and B6, and magnesium. Lactoferrin is included to increase the aqueous level of iron binding proteins and curcumin is included to inhibit production of the COX2 enzyme in the aqueous layer.
The condition dry eye syndrome is characterized by a deficiency in the quantity and/or quality of tears, an unstable tear film, ocular surface damage and symptoms such as ocular irritation, dryness, fatigue, and fluctuating visual disturbances. Dry eye is one of the most frequent reasons patients visit their eye doctors. However, there is little published data on how dry eye syndrome affects quality of life.
