OPHTHALMOLOGIST INTRODUCES ZOCULAR® SUPERIOR, NATURAL, OKRA-BASED EYELID WIPES AND FOAMING CLEANSER PROVIDING FASTER RELIEF FOR DRY EYE SYMPTOMS
(Houston, TX)—With over 48% of Americans suffering from some form of painful or irritating symptom from dry eye at one point in their lives, faster relief is now available with Zocular®, a revolutionary eye care product that consists of two innovative treatments that are now being launched: ZocuFoam™ cleanser and ZocuWipesTM pre-moistened, single-packet pads. Zocular is proving to be more effective in treating the discomfort, burning, itching, redness, watering and other eye problems, such as styes, associated with dry eye, than its competitors.
Ophthalmologist Dr. Peter Pham, developed Zocular after years of research on the restorative and healing properties he discovered in okra plants. Unlike other eye care products that use ingredients such as antibiotics or steroids that actually may further irritate a sore eye, Zocular, instead, harnesses the power of nature with its novel formulation of ingredients that include a refined extract of okra and a select blend of other natural botanicals to rejuvenate, refresh and heal many eye problems faster than other products in this category.
States Dr. Pham, “Zocular products actually target the very source of most of dry eye symptoms, which is the oily residue, bacteria and dirt on the eyelids that can cause eyes to itch, water and burn. One of the major causes of dry eye is the over or under production of oil on the lids and lack of ‘good’ oil.” Too much oil and inflammation (the “acne” of the eyelid) cause the dry, scratchy, burning sensation associated with dry eye symptoms and can also lead to chalzions and styes.
He continues, “This is why Zocular is so effective, as it changes the oil composition on the lid, replaces and rebalances the oil and turns the ‘bad’ oil into ‘good’ oil.” Most other products do not target this specific problem, which is the cause of more than 85% of cases of dry eye and therefore, are not nearly as effective as Zocular.
ZocuWipe typically needs to be used just once a day to provide immediate and all day relief from dry eye symptoms. Dr. Pham advises, “Simply open the convenient single-use packet, unfold the pre-moistened pad, and gently wipe the closed eyelids along the lash line in a lateral motion for 10-15 seconds. There is no need to rinse. Or you can use ZocuFoam, a gentle, foaming cleanser and moisturizer that lifts and removes the inflammation-inducing oily residue on the eyelid margins. Just one pump of ZocuFoam is all that is needed for immediate relief.”
While researching other possible benefits of using the okra-based Zocular with its healing properties, Dr. Pham discovered that since Zocular addresses the primary cause of inflammation associated with eyelid margin acnes, it is also effective in treating facial acne. Similarly, it helps to heal wounds. It is so gentle, patients recovering from facial plastic surgery can wash their face with the soothing towelettes. “Since Zocular uses the natural healing power of Okra,” adds Dr. Pham, there are no side effects such as redness or dryness when used on affected areas.”
Dr. Pham and his staff have been extremely pleased with how well Zocular has been received by ophthalmologists and other eye care professionals at several recent medical conventions, where they sampled the product.
Owner of EyeCo., Dr. Eduard Reyes ofMexico, suffered from extreme dry eyes. The doctor had the opportunity to experience ZocuWipes at the Pinhole Contact Lens Symposium. States Dr. Reyes, ZocuWipes work much better than any artificial tears. I could immediately feel the beneficial effect.”
Dr. Pham was equally pleased with the response from patients who received samples of Zocular from the doctor: Mrs. Pravda of Humble,Texas, who attended the convention with her husband, an eye doctor, said, “I have watery eyes. Nothing could get rid of it.” She sampled the ZocuWipes and reported to Dr. Pham that after one day of using the product, “My watery eye problem was gone.”
