What is the Circle-Of-Care?
The Dry Eye Zone® has been curated by experts; creating a best-in-class range designed to help sufferers through the maze of products on the market. The Circle-of-Care illustrates the essential steps needed to take control of dry eye and help halt its progression. Not every step is necessary for everyone, and your eye care professional will select the best routine for you.
Heat
Hot compresses are the mainstay of managing MGD. They help liquify the meibum oil in blocked gland ducts. There are many different types available from microwaveable bags to USB-powered electronic devices.
Massage
Gently massaging the eyelids after heating helps express the essential meibum oils and gets them flowing into the tears. This can be done manually or with a massaging device, your eye care professional will show you how to do this effectively.
Cleanse
​A rigorous daily cleansing of the eyelids is essential to remove debris. Additionally, a medicated cleanser will prevent the proliferation of potentially harmful organisms such as demodex.
Antimicrobial
Regular use of an antimicrobial spray specially formulated for the delicate eyelid and surrounding skin, will reduce the inflammation caused by bacterial over-load.
Hydrate
The use of artificial tears (dry eye drops) is usually the first line of defence. Care must be taken to select an eye drop that targets your type of dry eye and is free from preservatives.
Supplements
​If your diet needs support, dry eye-formulated oral supplements containing anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as omega-3, may be advocated.
