For Millions, the Answer is Yes

Today, we’re excited to bring you a guest post from Suzanne Paulson, founder of Eye Eco and creator of Tranquileyes.

We hydrate our bodies with water, hydrate our skin with lotions and potions, but what are we doing to keep our eyes hydrated, healthy and looking their best? While few are aware of it, eyes dry daily due to our environment, lifestyle and physical condition. In fact, 77 million Americans suffer from symptoms of dry eye and for many, dry eye is a chronic condition that can significantly impact the way they live and sleep. Many experience symptoms such as irritation, burning and itching, and don’t even realize the underlying cause is dry eye.

Contact lens wear, LASIK, staring at computers all day, allergies, hormonal changes, air planes all challenge our eyes ability to stay moist and comfortable. Because the cornea has a high density of nerve endings, when eyes are dry, fatigue often follows along with eye redness and puffiness.

As we age our bodies produce less oil, 60% less at age 65 than at age 18. This oil deficiency, which is more pronounced in women, affects the skin as well as the tear film. Additionally, many environmental, lifestyle and physical conditions clog the glands that release these critical oils. With less oil to seal the watery layer, the tear film evaporates much faster leaving eyes dry and irritated.

There’s no cure, only treatments. In the past, the standard treatment methods were limited to artificial tears and ointments. But Tranquileyes Eye Hydrating Therapy is a new, proven method for naturally restoring vital moisture to the eyes and surrounding skin. Tranquileyes soft flexible goggle forms a warm, moist humid environment around the eyes that help stimulate tear production and prevent the evaporation of tears. The heat stimulates and loosens the critical oils that slow evaporation of natural tears. The warm moisture increases the relative humidity around the eyes to prevent the evaporation of tears while moisturizing the surrounding skin. The results are clear, comfortable eyes that you can see and feel.

You can also create cold therapies with tranquileyes to help reduce eye puffiness which is often directly related to eye dryness. And enjoy the added benefit of complete darkness while using tranquileyes to promote deep sleep or relaxation. Hand assembled in California, tranquileyes are doctor recommended and proven effective for people with chronic to mild dry eyes. Tranquileyes is found in the finest spas including Ritz-Carlton and Canyon Ranch, doctor’s offices and at major medical institutions including some Mayo Clinics.
