OCuSOFT Inc. and Prevent Blindness Partner to Declare July Dry Eye Month

Rosenberg, TX (June 24, 2026) – OCuSOFT Inc., a privately-held eye and skincare company with an established reputation for innovation in eyelid hygiene, today announced the continued partnership with Prevent Blindness in support of July as Dry Eye Month to educate the public and healthcare allies on Dry Eye. Dry Eye is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly, resulting in symptoms such as irritation, burning, fluctuating vision, and discomfort. In some cases, Dry Eye can affect visual quality and, when severe or left untreated, may contribute to damage of the ocular surface.

Prevent Blindness offers free Dry Eye resources including a dedicated webpage, fact sheets, social media graphics available in English and Spanish, and expert and patient videos. New this year, Prevent Blindness will include a Dry Eye discussion in the July episode of the Prevent Blindness Focus on Eye Health Podcast, featuring Prevent Blindness ASPECT Patient Engagement Program participants Aidan Moore, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Dry Eye Foundation, and Pam Gaio, an individual living with Dry Eye.

The Prevent Blindness Focus on Eye Health Expert Series includes:

• “Dry Eye Disease and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD): What You Need to Know” with April Jasper, OD, FAAO, of Advanced Eyecare Specialists.
• “Dry Eye” with Prevent Blindness Board of Directors Member Stephanie Jones Marioneaux, MD.

“Dry Eye is commonly misunderstood. If left untreated, it can cause significant damage to vision,” said Jeff Todd, President and CEO of Prevent Blindness. “Speak with your eye doctor to go over all of your symptoms, medical history and medications to ensure that sight can be preserved today and for the future.”

"Dry Eye affects millions of Americans and continues to be one of the most common reasons patients seek eye care," said Thomas Mason, President of OCuSOFT Inc. "We are proud to support Prevent Blindness and its efforts to provide patients and healthcare professionals with educational resources that promote awareness, early recognition, and appropriate care."
