The Global Dry Eye Epidemic: Affecting 4 BILLION People

Dry eye disease (DED) is among the most common ocular disorders, affecting billions of individuals worldwide. Recent studies reveal a staggering prevalence rate, with up to 50% of the adult population experiencing some degree of dry eye. This translates to approximately 4 billion people globally suffering from the discomfort and challenges associated with DED【1】【2】. 

The symptoms of dry eye can significantly impact one’s quality of life, causing sandpaper-like irritation, redness, blurred vision, and a persistent feeling of dryness. These symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as reading, using digital devices, and even driving. Despite the availability of various treatments, many individuals continue to struggle with finding effective relief.

The causes are multifaceted, including environmental factors, aging, hormonal changes, medicines, and medical conditions. Recent research has highlighted tear hyperosmolarity as the root cause of dry eye. Dry eye can lead to inflammation and ultimately damage to the eye’s surface【2】. This complexity often makes it difficult to pinpoint a single effective treatment, leading many to feel frustrated with the lack of progress in managing their condition. 

If you’ve tried other treatments without success, it’s time to explore a new solution: Regener-Eyes Opthalmic Solution. This innovative treatment is indicated to relieve dryness of the eye. Regener-Eyes uses a hypotonic solution to target the underlying issues of dry eye, offering a promising alternative for those who have not found success with traditional therapies

Dr. Damaris Raymondi, OD, FAAO, shares her experience: “Regener-Eyes has been such an incredible tool in my practice. Ocular discomfort is so prevalent and so many patients think they just have to live with it, which could not be further from the truth. The difference Regener-Eyes has made is that it offers relief to patients with dry eye symptoms and it aids in my patient’s eye health. The fact that my patients love it is why I recommend it and if I’m able to help a patient feel good then I have done my duty as an optometrist.” 

Don’t let dry eye disease dictate your life. Try Regener-Eyes, a hypotonic solution eye drop that is poised to make a significant impact on the global dry eye epidemic, offering hope to the billions affected by this condition.
