Tears Again HYDRATE Significantly Improves Dry Eye Symptoms

Without Concomitant Cyclosprine A

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rosenberg, TX (September 21, 2011) — OCuSOFT, Inc., an ophthalmic research, development, and supply company, is pleased to announce the results of a recent study¹ evaluating the effects of Tears Again HYDRATE (OCuSOFT, Inc.), a proprietary blend of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, on dry eye signs and symptoms with or without concomitant topical cyclosporine A. 

Significantly, the findings demonstrate that Tears Again HYDRATE improved tear breakup time (TBUT) and relieved patient symptoms while the addition of topical cyclosporine did not convey any statistically significant improvement in TBUT beyond that achieved by the supplement alone.

Shana Richardson, Ph.D. reports, “Our findings suggest that Tears Again HYDRATE is equally effective at relieving dry eye symptoms and additional prescription therapies, which can be costly, may not be necessary to achieve the same results.”

Tears Again HYDRATE is the only prescription medical food specially formulated for the dietary management of inflammatory conditions of the eye including Dry Eye Syndrome, Blepharitis, and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.  For more information, visit www.tearsagainhydrate.com or call (800) 233-5469.
