A New and Advanced Treatment for Dry Eye Syndrome


DRYeye Forte is an innovative, evidence-based formula that delivers systemic relief for Dry Eye Syndrome. Featuring a proprietary blend of essential fatty acids and nutrients to support and augment the layers of the tear film and help reduce inflammation, it addresses the underlying causes of dry eye symptoms.

DRYeye Forte’s patented, Australian developed formulation provides highly concentrated omega-3 EPA and DHA from premium grade, sustainably sourced, mercury-tested and surfactant free fish oil.  

The unique and specialised omega-6 fatty acid GLA is delivered from the rich plant-based source Borago officinalis, or borage oil. Vitamin D3 with its important anti-inflammatory properties is also featured in DRYeye Forte, as deficiency in Vitamin D is strongly correlated with dry eye syndrome. DRYeye Forte also includes a potent combination of natural Vitamin E d-alpha tocopherol and mixed tocopherols including the powerful antioxidant, gamma tocopherol. These antioxidants enhance and optimise the omega-3’s, and also provide anti-inflammatory support for the eyes.

About Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eyes are very common, but left unaddressed, they can become debilitating.

Dry eye symptoms include: 

✔ Sandy, gritty or burning feeling

✔ Itching or stinging

✔ Redness of the eyes

✔ Sensitivity to light

✔ Heavy eyelids

✔ Contact lens discomfort

✔ Decreased tolerance for reading or working on computers

✔ Fatigued or aching eyes

✔ Filmy, blurred vision

 

What Causes Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome is caused by a disruption in the tear production process. Normally, a thin film of tears coats the eyes to keep eyes sufficiently lubricated and vision optimal. This tear film consists of three layers – an inner mucous layer, a middle aqueous layer, and an outer lipid layer. If deficiency occurs in any of the three layers, dry eye symptoms can occur. Imbalances between tear production, drainage and retention can be caused by a number of factors. The prevalence of dry eyes increases with age; at 65 years, we have 60% less oil in our bodies than we did as teenagers. As well as being caused by the normal ageing of tear glands, dry eye syndrome can also occur due to Meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharitis, extended contact lens wear, medications, hormonal changes, immune disorders, eye surgery such as LASIK, seasonal and environmental factors, air pollution, air travel, computer-related eye strain, inadequate diet and other factors.

Cross Section of a Healthy Tear Film

A Healthy Tear Film:

✔ Protects & lubricates the eye

✔ Reduces the risk of eye infection

✔ Washes away foreign particles

✔ Keeps the eye comfortable & clear

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Blepharitis

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of dry eye syndrome. MGD is a blockage or other abnormality of the meibomian glands which are located behind the eyelids. Chronic inflammation disturbs the production of the lipids (oils) emitted by the meibomian gland. Without enough oil secreting into the tears, the tears evaporate too quickly. MGD is also associated with the eyelid problem called blepharitis. Certain skin diseases, like rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis, or infection with staphylococcal bacteria, can also lead to blepharitis, which is characterised by inflammation of the eyelid margins and dry eye symptoms.

Contact Lens Wear

Since contact lenses rest directly on the cornea, wearing contact lenses for extended time periods can lead to a decrease in the amount of oxygen that reaches your eyes. Bacteria and other infection-causing agents can accumulate on contact lenses also, especially as lenses get older and deposits build up on their surfaces, contributing to inflammatory issues. Contact lens solutions that contain preservatives can also cause irritation to the corneal surface, causing dry eye symptoms.

Medications

Dry eye can be a side effect of some medications, including antihistamines, nasal decongestants, sedatives, certain blood pressure medications, beta-blockers, certain antibiotics, certain psychiatric medications, Parkinson’s medications, birth control pills, diuretics, appetite suppressants, and anti-depressants.

Hormonal Changes

Changes in tear production can cause dry eye in women who are pregnant, lactating, menstruating, peri menopausal or menopausal. Women on hormone replacement therapy may also experience dry eye symptoms. Women taking estrogen are 70 percent more likely to experience dry eyes, and those taking estrogen and progesterone have a 30 percent increased risk of developing dry eyes. Before menopause, it is understood that the greater a woman’s testosterone, the fewer tears produced, and the greater their estrogen, the greater tears produced. During menopause, however, this reverses. Research is emerging about the role hormones play in the lubrication of eyes, but it is understood that dry eyes can result from a deficiency in estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, or possibly from an imbalance of any of the three.

Immune Disorders

Dry eye syndrome can be associated with immune system disorders such as Sjögren’s Syndrome, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Diabetes and Thyroid Disease. Sjögren’s Syndrome is most commonly associated with dryness of the eyes and mouth. It is a relatively common immune disorder, in which the body’s own cells attack the glands responsible for keeping the eyes, mouth and other parts of the body moist and lubricated.

LASIK and other Eye Surgery

Dry eye is an extremely common complication of eye surgery such as LASIK, with more than half of all patients experiencing dry eyes after the procedure. LASIK causes some nerves in the cornea to be cut, which reduces corneal sensitivity to some degree. In response, your eyes may not sense the need for lubrication, causing your body to produce fewer tears, leading to dry eye syndrome. Dry eyes after LASIK can cause both discomfort and less than optimal visual outcomes, with aqueous tear production reduced and wound healing delayed. The condition usually resolves after a few months; however, in some cases, dry eye symptoms can continue for several months. Cataract surgery has also been found to exacerbate pre-existing dry eye and to induce dry eye in patients with healthy corneas. As with LASIK and other eye surgeries, postoperative dry eyes can affect visual outcomes and recovery time.

Environmental Factors

Dry eye can be a symptom of chronic inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane lining the eyelid and covering the front part of the eye or the lacrimal gland. Chronic conjunctivitis can be caused by exposure to certain irritants such as air pollution, drafts from air conditioning or heating, climate conditions or seasonal allergy.

Air Travel

Low relative humidity conditions such as those experienced in airplane cabins during flights causes an increase in aqueous tear evaporation that intensifies dry eye symptoms. Increases in evaporative rates during air travel are experienced both by people with existing dry eye issues and also by people with no previous history of dry eye syndrome. Duration and frequency of flying increases the likelihood of dry eye syndrome.

Computer-Related Eye Strain

The infrequent blinking associated with staring at computer or video screens can lead to dry eye symptoms. The normal blink rate in human eyes is 16 to 22 blinks per minute. Studies have shown that the blink rate decreases to as low as 6 to 8 blinks per minute for persons working on computer screens. Also, the focusing effort required for extended periods of computer work puts strain on the ciliary muscles of the eye, further exacerbating inflammatory issues.


Frequently Asked Questions

Where is DRYeye Forte manufactured?                 

DRYeye Forte is made in Australia, and proudly carries the Australian Made and Owned certification. We source only the highest standard ingredients and the formula is manufactured under the highest therapeutic manufacturing standard (GMP), in a world-class Australian manufacturing plant which is regularly audited for compliance by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

 

Do I really need a vitamin supplement if I have a healthy diet?

If you are already eating a healthy diet and still experiencing dry eye symptoms, then that may suggest your diet is not be providing enough of the nutrients that are recommended to help relieve dry eye symptoms. It can be difficult to achieve the recommended nutrient levels for relieving dry eyes from the inside out, on a daily basis, through the diet alone.

 

Why does it take more than just fish oil to combat dry eye?

DRYeye Forte features GLA from plant-based Borage Oil, as well as high quality, mercury-tested fish oil. When fish omegas EPA and DHA team up with GLA, inflammation is reduced in a complementary fashion. Combined with other important nutrients such as anti-inflammatory Vitamin D and the rich antioxidants of mixed tocopherols, DRYeye Forte’s patented formula helps fight inflammation and support the three layers of the tear film.

 

How long does DRYeye Forte take to work, and what is the recommended daily dose?

Having been formulated according to evidence-based research into dry eye syndrome and containing the required levels of nutrients, DRYeye Forte offers long-lasting effectiveness with continued use. Results are typically experienced within 6 to 8 weeks. The dosage may vary according to your weight and the severity of your dry eye symptoms. It is recommended that people experiencing significant dry eye symtoms begin with a dosage of 2 to 3 capsules per day, and continue taking for 6 to 8 weeks. As symptoms recede, dosage may then be reduced to a maintenance level.

 

How does DRYeye Forte differ from artificial tears and eye drops?

DRYeye Forte is a patented oral formulation in a soft gel capsule that works from the inside out to target the root causes of dry eye. Unlike topical products like eye drops and sprays, DRYeye Forte does not require re-application throughout the day. The nutrient dense formulation typically provides significant relief within 6 to 8 weeks.

 

Can DRYeye Forte be used with other topical dry eye products?

Yes, DRYeye Forte may be combined with artificial tears, drop or sprays. Because it is an oral formulation that targets dry eye syndrome from within, it works by a complementary mode of action to these topical products. Within 6 to 8 weeks of taking DRYeye Forte, you may have achieved adequate relief to not require extra topical products. 

 

Are there any negative side effects?

It is possible for certain individuals to be intolerant of individual ingredients. If you have any concerns please speak to your healthcare professional or contact us directly. If you are taking other medications, such as Warfarin, consult your healthcare professional before use. High doses of Omega-3, Omega-6 and Vitamin E may increase the risk of bleeding if you are taking blood thinning medications.

 

Do I need to take DRYeye Forte with food?

It is generally recommended that you take your DRYeye Forte capsules with or after food, in the morning.
