Proper Hygiene is Key to Eye Health
If you want clear, comfortable, and consistent vision, it is critical that you keep your eyes clean. Each day, the eyes are inundated with dirt, debris, and environmental pollutants, which can build up on the eyelids, eyelashes, and eye surface, leading to irritation and infection. Eye conditions can develop that interfere with vision and cause discomfort, lowering overall quality of life. If dry eye, Demodex, or blepharitis do develop, ZEST is a powerful treatment that can help restore wellness and peace of mind.
What is ZEST?
ZEST is an exciting new in-office solution for treating common eye conditions such as dry eye, Demodex, and blepharitis, which often stem from poor hygiene. Like a thorough shampoo, ZEST cleanses the eyelids and eyelashes of bacteria, mites, and debris, enhancing the overall health and functionality of your eyes. The special ingredient in the ZEST gel is an extract of okra, which is highly effective at purifying the eye region. It can also be instrumental in reducing inflammation and irritation in the eyes. ZEST is painless and can provide instantaneous relief from discomfort, redness, itching, and burning.
Before & Afters
How Does ZEST Work?
ZEST can be thought of as a deep, restorative shampoo for the eyelids and eyelashes. Treatment with ZEST can greatly improve conditions such as dry eye, blepharitis, and Demodex by clearing away debris, dirt, oil, and other impurities.
During your session, a special gel is applied to the lids and lashes with a cotton swab, which is then rotated in a circular motion to create a soapy lather. The gel is made with a refined okra extract that soothes irritation and inflammation while ridding the eyes of unwanted contaminants. Finally, the gel is rinsed off with a simple saline solution.
