#184: New Dry Eye Products from 2022

The eye care industry is constantly evolving. There is always research going on to make products better, more tolerable, and longer lasting. This past year, there were 3 new products that hit the market that can significantly affect your dry eye relief. Let's talk about three of the best dry eye products that came to market in 2022.

 #1) For your Eyes: Optase MGD Advanced Dry Eye Drop

Optase has been available in the US for a couple of years now. Their preservative-free Dry Eye Intense drop has been a favorite of mine for several years now.  However, in 2022, MGD Advanced came to the US market as well. 

MGD Advanced has three key ingredients:

1. Hyaluronic Acid: binds moisture to the front surface of our eye.
2. Trehalose: a naturally occurring compound that prevents drying out, or desiccation of the cells
3. Sacha Inchi seed oil: a potent source of omega-3.

Having that oil in artificial tears helps to protect your tear film from drying out and the drop lasts in your eye a little longer without evaporating into the air. THE omega-3 found in Optase Advanced MGD comes from the Sacha inchi seed. This oil is clear and won't blur your vision like so many of the other artificial tear brands containing omega-3s.

This is also the first eye drop from Optase which is produced using DEMET™ technology to combine the ingredients in a formula that is optically clear. So, the drops won’t cause blurring of your vision.

This preservative-free solution comes in a clear bottle. The bottle is multi-dose instead of having individual vials.  Make sure to squeeze the bottle more than once to get the drop to come out. Once the drop does come out, it comes out really easy. And the drop feels a little bit oily, but again, it won't blur your vision.

If you're spending hours on the computer, this drop will feel great. It will help to coat your eyes the little bit of oil. The Trehalose will prevent drying out and Hyaluronic acid will bind that moisture onto the front surface of your eye. You'll love these drops. Plus, you can get a 10% Discount on all products by using the Promo Code: BLINKEYE10. This will get you 10% off everything on the Dry Eye Rescue site. 

#2) For Your Body: The Dry Eye Drink.

Helps add hydration to your body to give your eyes the building blocks to make healthy tears. My friend, Dr. Josh Davidson is a dry eye specialist in Baton Rouge, LA.  It's just a few hours from Shreveport.

The dry eye drink is a supplement mix that you add to your bottle of water. Give it a nice shake to mix it well. The supplement has 3 main benefits:

1. Increases hydration two to three times more than water alone.
2. Provides your body with vitamins A, B, and C and electrolytes. These are all needed to support healthy tears.
3. Contains potent anti-inflammatories like: Green tea extract, turmeric and omega-3 fatty acids.

You get all of these amazing benefits in one small packet of drink mix. Reducing inflammation is an important component in treating dry eye disease. And, this blend of electrolytes and anti-inflammatories is designed to enhance rapid absorption of water. This gets you feeling better faster. Each box comes with 30 packets of drink mix.

#3) For your Beauty Routine: Full Brows Tinted Gel from twenty/twenty beauty

When you have dry eyes, often you will also have sparse lashes and brows. Bacteria can build up around the eyes and cause additional inflammation. That's why I am always encouraging you to clean them better.  It's this same excess bacteria that's causing the lashes and eye brows to fall out.

I also encourage you to use products that nourish the hair follicles and keep them healthy. That's exactly what Full Brows Tinted Gel will do.  It will instantly give your brows the appearance of being thicker by  filling in the area with natural looking color and covering the grays.

It will also promote healthy hair growth over time because it contains oils that nourish those hair follicles and get them to grow stronger and longer. It comes in three colors: Blonde, Brown, and Dark Brown. You just brush it on your brows and it stays on all day. Beautiful. You can get a 25% discount on any products in the twenty/twenty beauty website using the code: PAM25

CONCLUSION:
