HypoChlor Spray
Oils, make-up, dead skin and bacteria are some of the unwanted substances that build up on the eyelids and eyelashes. This build-up of “gunk” blocks important glands and causes inflammation of the eyelids. It is important to clean this area daily. Removing make-up and a swipe of a washcloth aren’t enough.
Hypochorous acid is non-toxic and has no preservatives. It is a part of the body’s natural defense mechanism against pathogens and microorganisms. It is a great disnfectant for the eyes.
Spray a couple of squints onto a cotton pad. Gently wipe the upper and lower eyelids. Leave the solution on your eye to continue cleaning. Use HypoChlor spray once or twice a day. It works well after using a Moist Hot Compress.
Moist Heat Compress
MICROWAVE ACTIVATED MOIST HEAT COMPRESSES are a natural, proven way to bring relief to dry eye syndrome, styes, chalazions and blepharitis. Simply microwave for 20-30 seconds and apply to the eyes for 6-10 minutes. A warm Moist Heat Compress helps unplug oil glands. This frees the oil in the glands to flow into the eyes and slows tear evaporation. There is no need to add water, no waiting and no mess, just relief.
The Reusable Compress is available in our office for $20 + tax.

Oasis TEARS PLUS Are Preservative Free
Nonpreserved artificial tears have an extra advantage over preserved ones. They may be the best choice for patients immediately following eye surgery (such as LASIK), because they are more comfortable to use, due to differences in the thickness and improved compatibility with the eye’s tissues. Preservative-free Oasis TEARS and Oasis TEARS PLUS eliminate the source of toxic irritation caused by preservatives.
Oasis TEARS eye drops are available to purchase at Westside Optometry. A single box contains a 30 day supply.
