FreshKote Means Dry Eye Relief

Dry eye is exactly what it sounds like. Your eyes are not producing enough tears to keep them lubricated so you have the feeling of sand or grit in your eyes, there’s sensitivity to light, your vision is blurry, and your contact lenses may not come out as easy as they should. Women are affected with dry eye more often than men, most likely due to hormonal changes, aging, and menopause.

Without the layer of tears to protect the ocular surface of your eyes, they are not being provided with the nourishment they need. Your doctor or ophthalmologist can prescribe FreshKote to treat moderate to severe dry eye, delay tear evaporation, and help heal the ocular surface.

Treats All 3 Layers of Your Tear Film

When instilled into your eye(s) FreshKote’s distinctive blend of polymers wet the ocular surface completely, even adhering to the dry areas of your eye to provide moisture and relief. Your cornea is usually 78% water with corneal epithelium and endothelium acting as barriers to control how much fluid is allowed to move into the tissue.

If the oncotic pressure increases in your cornea, FreshKote is able to draw out the moisture from swollen areas and re-establish the integrity of the epithelium that covers the front of your cornea. Polixetonium is the patented preservative in FreshKote that shows evidence of having potent antimicrobial and antifungal activity as well.

Conditions Treated by FreshKote

Dry eye can occur as part of your natural aging process, certain medications, or a disturbance in any part of your tear production. Working conditions can also leave you with dry, irritated eyes, attributed to working outdoors in the elements or pollution, spending eight or more hours parked in front of a computer screen, and indoors when ventilation is inadequate to carry out fumes and smoke. FreshKote helps protect your eyes from the gritty sensation and redness of dry eyes.

Those with Sjogren’s syndrome can also benefit from adding FreshKote to their treatment as there is no cure for this autoimmune disorder that can also cause dry mouth.

Before FreshKote is Prescribed

To determine if FreshKote is safe for you to use, tell your doctor about other medical conditions or allergies you have and list any OTC or Rx drugs you take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements. Ask your doctor about any risks of using FreshKote if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding.

FreshKote Precautions and Proper Use

If you wear contact lenses, remove them before administering FreshKote and ask your doctor or ophthalmologist how long to wait before reinserting them. Because FreshKote will temporarily blur your vision, do not drive, operate machinery, or attempt any task that could be dangerous if you cannot see properly. Do not touch any part of your eye with the applicator tip as it could pass on bacteria and cause an infection.
