EvoTears® OMEGA eye drops: Unique for dry and irritated eyes

EvoTears® OMEGA eye drops offer effective and sustainable protection against tear evaporation thanks to innovative ingredients.They are water-free, which means there is no need for preservatives.The eye drops are characterized by their high yield and long range.They also contain omega-3 fatty acids from algae, which help build the lipid phase.It is the first emulsion-free omega-3 formulation for dry eyes.

Effective protection against evaporation and supplementation of the lipid phase

Dry and irritated eyes accompanied by red, painful eyelid edges or crusty eyelids upon waking can indicate impaired meibomian gland function.This disorder affects the lipid phase of the tear film, which protects the tear film from evaporation and is considered the main cause of dry eyes.EvoTears® OMEGA eye drops specifically target dry eyes due to meibomian gland dysfunction.They combine effective evaporation protection thanks to the innovative ingredient perfluorohexyloctane and the advantages of being water-free with omega-3 fatty acids to relieve irritated eyes and eyelid edges.Due to the low surface tension, the eye drops spread quickly over the tear film and form a delicate protective coat.This prevents premature evaporation for a long time.Compared to water-based preparations, the drops are significantly smaller, which makes the eye drops very effective.Thanks to the oil-like properties, application is hardly noticeable.Due to the water-free formulation, there is no need for excipients.

With omega-3 fatty acids from algae to build up the lipid phase

EvoTears® OMEGA is the first emulsion-free Omega-3 formulation for dry eyes.Omega-3 fatty acids are part of the natural tear film.Dry eyes are often associated with an omega-3 deficiency.The greater the deficiency, the more serious the disruption of the tear film and the associated corneal damage.The omega-3 fatty acids in EvoTears® OMEGA are not obtained from fish, but from algae, which makes the eye drops also suitable for vegans.

Meibomian gland dysfunction

The meibomian glands, which are located in the upper and lower eyelids, secrete an oily secretion on the edges of the eyelids and are responsible for the lipid phase of the tear film.If their function is restricted or their outlets are blocked, this results in a lipid phase disorder.Those affected complain of dry, watery or burning eyes as well as crusty or red eyelids.

Hormonal changes

Hormones play a crucial role in the function of the meibomian glands.Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during menopause or during hormone therapy (e.g. birth control pills), can cause the meibomian glands to malfunction.Decreased hormone production can also affect the function of the meibomian glands in men.

Age-related dry eyes

With increasing age, the risk of dry eyes increases as the functionality of the glandular tissue declines.This means that less of the oily substance is produced by the meibomian glands, which affects the quality and quantity of the lipid phase of the tear film.To counteract dry, irritated eyes, using EvoTears® OMEGA can help.
