Zest/Zocular Okra-based Dry Eye Treatment
ZEST for Dry Eye and Demodex:
ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment) is an exciting new treatment developed by Zocular® to treat the underlying causes of dry eye – demodex mites and blepharitis. Over 80% of dry eye issues start with issues at the eyelid margin. The bacteria, oil residue, dirt and dead skin at the eyelids can cause the eyes to water, itch, burn, and make the eyes feel dry. Dry eye and blepharitis are often associated with poor hygiene of the eyelid area.
