Tranquileyes Eye Hydrating System
TEMECULA, CA . . . Forget the warm compresses, a new study finds Tranquileyes Eye Hydrating System offers superior relief for patients suffering from a wide-spread condition known as dry-eye.
Robert Gerowitz, OD, FOAA, who has been treating dry-eye patients for more than 25 years, recently completed the Thermoeyes System Holistic Approach to Dry Eye Study. The S.H.A.D.E. Study compared the effectiveness of traditional warm compresses to Thermoeyes heat packs used with the Tranquileyes goggles. For the study, Dr. Gerowitz selected 14 patient volunteers and had them wear Thermoeyes on their right eye and warm compresses concurrently on their left for an eight-week period. This was in addition to any lifestyle-dietary-
The three factors he most wished to enhance for the alleviation of Tear Evaporative Dry Eye was an increase Tear Break-up Time (TBUT), an improvement in the Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) grading scale, and a lessening of patient subjective complaints. At the same time, he wished to determine if he could "build a better mousetrap" by not only going to a holistic dry eye treatment but also make treatment more convenient and comfortable.
The results showed 1) The Thermoeyes system improves Tear Break-up Time by 57% over standard warm compress, 2) The Thermoeyes system was proven up to 223% more effective than warm compresses for managing Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, 3) All patient symptoms decreased or were all together alleviated.
Over 60 million Americans suffer from potentially debilitating dry-eye symptoms and the numbers are growing. Dry-eye symptoms include fatigue, dryness, redness, scratchiness and burning, and can be caused by vision-correction surgery, contact lens use, low humidity environments, prolonged computer use, allergies and certain medications – to name a few. The most common cause of dry eye symptoms is normal aging.
July is Dry Eye Awareness Month and the perfect time to raise awareness of effective dry-eye treatments. Tranquileyes goggles naturally restore moisture by creating heat and increasing humidity around the eye, which helps stimulate tear production and reduce the evaporation of natural tears. Thermoeyes gel pad inserts boost the intensity and duration of the tranquileyes moist heat treatment. The extra heat helps open the meibomian glands which secrete the oily lipid layer of the tear film, slowing evaporation of natural tears.
Many doctors recommend Tranquileyes Eye Hydrating System for their dry eye patients. For example, Dr. Robert Latkany, one of the country's leading dry-eye experts and author of the new book The Dry Eye Remedy: The Complete Guide to Restoring the Health and Beauty of Your Eyes, has tested Tranquileyes and now recommends the system for his patients.
And Jonathan R. Pirnazar, M.D. was the Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at University of California, Irvine when he tested Tranquileyes and found "All of my patients experienced subjective benefits (i.e. extremely relaxing and comfortable to use) and 75% recognized measurable improvement in their dry eye condition within two weeks of using tranquileyes to enhance their existing treatment.”
Tranquileyes goggles are hypoallergenic and made with FDA approved materials. They feature a beautifully sculpted eye cover, made from medical grade, flexible material. Fabric lined visco-elastic foam especially designed to form to the face, cushions the eye cover, providing increased comfort while controlling the temperature and humidity within the eye environment. A uniquely designed adjustable comfort wrap holds the eye covers in place and the stretch fabric ensures no pinching, even with extended wear.
