Science Behind NanoTears®
NanoTears® uses patented nano-lipid technology to create a clear colloidal lipid solution. The nano-sized lipids (NanoPids®) range from 5 nm to 50 nm. As a result, NanoTears® is a clear emollient solution that does not cause the blurriness and haze upon administration associated with opaque emollient tear drops using the customary larger sized lipids.
The combination of polar and non-polar lipids in NanoTears®replicates the lipids produced by the Meibomian Gland. NanoTears®is therefore designed to restore and revitalize the lipid layer, supplementing the lipids produced by the Meibomian Gland, which in turn prevents the evaporation and diffusion of the naturally occurring tears.
Even more importantly, the NanoPids®consist of polar and non-polar nano-lipids. The combination of polar and non-polar lipids in NanoTears®replicates the lipids produced by the Meibomian Gland. NanoTears®is therefore designed to restore and revitalize the lipid layer, supplementing the lipids produced by the Meibomian Gland, which in turn prevents the evaporation and diffusion of the naturally occurring tears.
As such, NanoTears® also supports healthy function of the aqueous tear film layer, and works to ensure the stability of the tear film.
The NanoTears® formulation also includes additional lubricants that provide tear replacement and supplement the tears produced by the Lacrimal Gland. NanoTears®thereby works to ensure that the eye is comfortably lubricated, even if the eye is producing an insufficient quantity of tears
Finally, NanoTears® also remains in a solution form until instilled in the eye. The gelling agent reacts with the eye’s tonicity, and converts the solution to a gel in the eye. This allows for ease of administration, while allowing NanoTears® to provide a long lasting release of the lipids and lubricants in the product to the tear film and eye surface.
If you think you have Dry Eye disease, see your eye doctor for a diagnosis and to explore treatment options.
While Dry Eye is usually not curable, the condition can often be improved with treatment.
NanoTears® is a unique innovation in Dry Eye Therapy that contains Nanopids®, tiny soothing lipids that revitalize the eye natural lubrication by restoring the lipid layer of the tear film, and providing a barrier to tear loss. NanoTears®, a clear solution that gels in the eye, also lubricates and soothe the eye, providing tear replacement without the blur commonly associated with other products.
If you are a dry eye patient, ask your doctor if NanoTears® is right for you.
- A Clear Emollient Artificial Solution Engineered to Contain Polar Natural Oil.
- The Size of the Lipid Particles Ranges From 5 nm to 50 nm.
- Comfortable Upon Instillation, with Minimum Blur/Haze.
- Reduce Ocular Surface Discomfort, Extend Soothing Comfort
Designed to repair and restore the lipid layer of the tear film, NanoTears has been shown to:
- Increase Tear Break up Time
- Reduce Corneal Staining
- Support Aqueous Layer Function
- Re-establish Normal Osmolality
Lubricants are formulated in a buffered liquid gel solution. Viscosity increases upon instillation into the eye, providing extended soothing comfort to the ocular surface with minimum haze.
