ZEST Eyelid Cleansing for Dry Eye & MGD in Decatur, GA

ZEST Eyelid Cleansing System

Most ocular surface problems such as dry eye or red eye originate from our eyelids. This is due to all the dirt, bacteria, mites, and debris (aka biofilm) that accumulate on the lid margin over time. Few of us clean our eyelids daily. But even with consistent personal eyelid hygiene, it’s very difficult to remove the biofilm on our eyelids. ZEST or Zocular Eyelid System Treatment is a clinically proven eyelid cleansing procedure performed by eye care professionals, like deep teeth cleaning to remove the tartar that cannot be brushed away, to eliminate the biofilm to help with dry eye, MGD, or Demodex blepharitis.

How It Works

The ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment) is an innovative approach to maintaining ocular health, focusing on the cleanliness of the eyelids. The treatment begins with the application of a specially formulated solution directly to the eyelids. This solution is designed to target the biofilm, a layer of bacteria, mites, and debris that commonly accumulates on the eyelids. Using a unique, patented technology, the solution gently breaks down and loosens the biofilm.

This process is non-invasive and specifically designed to be gentle on the delicate skin of the eyelids while being effective in cleansing. After the solution has effectively loosened the biofilm, the eye care professional carefully removes the debris. This step is crucial as it clears away the elements that contribute to common ocular surface problems like dry eye, red eye, and MGD (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction).
