Theravision Acuvue Lenses – The first and only medication releasing contact lenses for allergies

Theravision Acuvue Lenses Dry Eyes - Eyedeology

We are excited to announce that we are one of the first clinics in Calgary to prescribe contact lenses that can help those suffering from eye allergies! Approximately one out of three contact lens wearers experience itchy eyes and 80% find that this affects their quality of comfort with contact lenses. Our optometrists find that patients suffering from eye allergies often need to rely on the use of allergy drops, artificial tears, and cold compresses in order to wear their contact lenses comfortably. However, this is no longer the case as we now have ACUVUE® Theravision® with Ketotifen, the first and only medication-releasing contact lens for patients that want to wear contact lenses but suffer from itchy, irritated eyes. These are not available online and can only be fit by an optometrist.

The ACUVUE® Theravision® contact lens works in a number of unique ways:

  • The contact lens has built-in allergy medication (Ketotifen) that can provide itchy eye relief in a matter of minutes
  • It provides fast-acting and long-lasting allergy relief, for up to 12 hours
  • The medication is released in a consistent manner over time (up to 5 hours) which eliminates the need to worry about a dosing schedule with allergy eye drops
  • It is a daily disposable contact lens that can be recycled after one use making it convenient and hygienic

For clear, comfortable vision and relief from eye allergies, try the ACUVUE® Theravision® contact lens and see the difference for yourself!

Deep Cleansing for Healthier Eyelids and Lashes

ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment) is an in-office eyelid cleaning and debridement treatment developed by Zocular®. It is designed to clean the eyelids and lashes while helping address concerns associated with dry eye, blepharitis, and demodex.

The treatment uses a natural, okra-based gel to remove oil, debris, and residue from the eyelid margins and lashes. By improving eyelid hygiene, ZEST can help reduce the buildup that may contribute to irritation and inflammation around the eyes.

What Is ZEST?

ZEST works like a deep cleansing treatment for the eyelids and lashes. During the procedure, the okra-based gel is applied along the eyelid margins and lashes using a cotton swab. The gel is gently worked into a lather using circular motions before being rinsed away with saline solution.
The gel contains a refined extract of okra, an edible green seed pod. According to the provided product information, okra helps lift and clear oil, debris, and residue while being gentle around the eye area.

How Can ZEST Help?

Keeping the eyelids, eyelid margins, and lashes clean is an important part of eye hygiene. Buildup along the eyelid edges can contribute to symptoms such as itching, burning, gritty sensations, redness, and irritation.

ZEST is designed to address this buildup through thorough cleansing and debridement.

  • Removes Debris: Helps clear dirt, oil, and residue from the eyelid margins and lashes.
  • Supports Eyelid Hygiene: Provides a deeper cleansing treatment than routine eyelid cleaning.
    Addresses Demodex: The treatment is designed to help remove demodex mites and associated debris.
  • Helps Reduce Inflammation: Cleansing the eyelid area may help address buildup associated with irritation and inflammation.
  • Supports Dry Eye Care: ZEST may help relieve symptoms associated with dry eye and poor eyelid hygiene.

ZEST for Dry Eye, Blepharitis, and Demodex

Dry eye and blepharitis can be associated with inadequate eyelid hygiene. Debris along the eyelid margins can enter the tear film with blinking, potentially contributing to redness and irritation.

Demodex mites can also be present in the hair follicles around the eyelashes. According to the provided information, they may contribute to inflammation and dry eye symptoms by blocking the oil glands at the base of the eyelashes.

ZEST provides targeted cleansing of the eyelid margins and lashes to help remove this buildup and address demodex-related concerns.

A Simple In-Office Treatment

The ZEST procedure is performed in the office and involves applying the cleansing gel to the eyelid margins and lashes, working it into a lather, and then rinsing the area with saline solution. The treatment is designed to provide thorough eyelid and lash cleansing without requiring a lengthy procedure.

Is ZEST Right for You?

ZEST may be considered for patients experiencing symptoms associated with dry eye, blepharitis, demodex, or eyelid debris. An eye care professional can assess your symptoms and determine whether ZEST is appropriate for your eye care needs.
