Moisture-release eyewear addresses dry eye needs
September 20, 2011Tranquileyes Moisture Release Eyewear is a new solution for millions suffering from mild to severe dry eye conditions. Developed and patented by Stanley Scheiner, M.D., Tranquileyes Moisture Release Eyewear incorporates an ingenious technology to help stabilize the tear film, improve visual acuity, and ease symptoms of eye dryness, redness and fatigue.
“Dry, itchy, burning eyes are a frustrating condition when provoked by keratitis sicca,” said Dr. Scheiner.
“For the first time ever, we can now conveniently deliver a moisture-rich environment through eyewear to an otherwise dehydrated corneal surface. This reduces symptoms, provides more comfort, increases compliance, and requires fewer doses of drops, saving the patient money. This product will make patients very happy.”
The stylish, lightweight frame utilizes two vented chambers that contain a piece of foam. The chambers are soaked in water then placed back into the frame where they are positioned to continuously release moisture around the eyes. A comfortable, foam padded gasket and bendable nose bridge help seal the face and protect the eyes from wind, dust and pollen.
When eyewear is worn, the water evaporates through the vented chambers, increasing relative humidity around the eyes, helping to stabilize the tear film.
The therapeutic environment minimizes dry eye symptoms, improves comfort, reduces fatigue and improves visual acuity.
