Ophthalmology Times October 1, 2003
Portland, OR-Nature's Tears EyeMist is a breakthrough product for the treatment of a variety of ocular irritations that delivers an ultra-fine mist of water to soothe and heal dry, irritated eyes The eye mist, developed by Bio-Logic Aqua Technologies, consists of tissue-culture-grade water that is delivered via a patent-pending ultra-fine mist. It restores the moisture volume of the eye's tear film without disruption, he said. "Nature's Tears EyeMist is a unique product to add to the clinician's armamentarium for patients with a wide variety of ocular irritation and complaints,"This is the first product for dry, irritated eyes that uses a water mist rather then chemical eye drops, The ultra-fine mist easily passes through the lipid layer into the aqueous layer, leaving both intact and functioning. Thus, the tear film's water content is restored to a normal, healthy state with no harsh chemicals or floodingBecause Nature's Tears EyeMist is convenient and easy to use, patients use it more frequently, and this is one of the cornerstones of its success"When the eyes are dry and the tear osmolarity is elevated, a second or two of mist will make them normal again," Nature's Tears EyeMist is so gentle, it doesn't alter the osmolarity very much. The cells don't have to adjust to it immediately, and thus you don't have the 'shock' that occurs when eye drops are administered."
