Dry Eye and Demodex Relief at Home
Powered by nature for at-home dry eye and demodex relief
Three at-home treatments for dry eye disease and demodex in the Zocular range have been launched by The Body Doctor Ltd, manufacturer of The Eye Doctor range.
The new ZocuFoam cleansing solution, the ZocuWipe individually wrapped wipes and the ZocuShield advanced eyelid gel use the patented Zokrex system that utilises activated okra complex derived from the okra vegetable. ZocuShield also contains aloe vera leaf juice and features an easy-to-use, syringe-style applicator.
With natural botanicals, the Zocular products have been dermatologically tested and are hypoallergenic and Ph-balanced for tears.
The three new products enable patients to cleanse and soothe their eyelids at home, offering immediate improvements in the symptoms of dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), demodex and inflammation. The foam and wipes can also be used to cleanse the face.
The products were developed by ophthalmologist and chemist Peter Pham, Chief Executive of Zocular LLC, who flew in from the US to demonstrate the products at 100% Optical in February.
The launch of the at-home treatments follows the earlier launch of the in-practice Zocular Eyelid System Treatment (ZEST) pack which also uses the Zokrex technology and natural okra polysaccharide complexes.
The Body Doctor’s Head of Professional Services, Andrew Price, said: “I use the ZEST pack as a professional treatment in my dry eye and contact lens clinics. The results have given a unique and instant improvement in lid appearance, without any adverse effects or patient irritation, and this has lasted for some weeks.
“Now the formulations have been presented in a patient-friendly form to be used as follow up home maintenance treatments, I will be recommending these as well.”
