FAQs
How long does HydroEye take to work?
How long does HydroEye take to work?
HydroEye offers long-lasting effectiveness with continued use. Results are typically experienced within 30-60 days.
How does HydroEye differ from artificial tears and drops?
How does HydroEye differ from artificial tears and drops?
HydroEye is an oral formulation that works from the inside out to target the root causes of dry eye. Unlike topical products like drops and artificial tears, HydroEye does not require frequent re-application throughout the day. HydroEye provides uninterrupted relief within 30-60 days.
Can HydroEye be used with other dry eye products?
Can HydroEye be used with other dry eye products?
HydroEye may be combined with artificial tears, punctum plugs or the medication Restasis®. Because HydroEye is an oral formulation that targets dry eye internally, it works by a complementary mode of action to these topical products. However, most users find that HydroEye provides adequate relief within 30-60 days.
Can HydroEye be taken with Coumadin or other "blood thinning" medications?
Can HydroEye be taken with Coumadin or other "blood thinning" medications?
A study published in 1994 reported that supplemental GLA lowered triglycerides, increased levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and prolonged the time it takes for blood platelets to clump together- factors which may contribute to cardiovascular health.
Platelets in the blood have a sticky surface which allows them, along with other substances, to form blood clots when bleeding occurs, a process called coagulation. Since platelets are involved in the process of forming clots, the GLA contained in HydroEye could theoretically increase the effects of anti-coagulant and anti-platelet medications such as Coumadin, Plavix or aspirin. If you are taking "blood thinning" medications, your physician can perform a Prothrombin time, INR, or bleeding time test to measure how long it takes blood to clot. This will ensure that HydroEye can safely be added to your current drug regimen.
How does HydroEye differ from flaxseed and fish oils?
How does HydroEye differ from flaxseed and fish oils?
HydroEye provides the same omega-3s as flaxseed and fish oil. HydroEye now features EPA and DHA from highest-quality, USP verified fish oil. However, only HydroEye provides GLA (gamma linolenic acid). GLA effectively promotes the body's production of anti-inflammatory compounds. Both GLA and the omega-3 from fish oils have anti-inflammatory actions, but only GLA has been clinically shown to decrease dry eye symptoms.
Additionally, neither fish nor flaxseed oils contain other important nutrients that are included in HydroEye: vitamin B6 and magnesium to promote fatty acid metabolism, vitamin A to support the production of mucin in the tear film, and the antioxidant vitamin C to help fight the free radicals associated with inflammation.
What’s the difference between the EE and TG forms of omega-3s?
What’s the difference between the EE and TG forms of omega-3s?
Research suggests that the EE (Ethyl Ester) and TG (triglyceride) forms of omega fatty acids from fish oil are absorbed about the same when taken over several weeks or more. While some research measuring absorption over just a single day or less found the TG form to be better absorbed, differences disappear in studies that compared these forms over two weeks or more. SBH products contain the EE form, as the EE form has been used in nearly every clinical trial showing benefit for omega-3s from fish oil and is the choice for the National Eye Institute’s AREDS 2 trial now in progress
Why does it take more than just fish oil to combat dry eye?
Why does it take more than just fish oil to combat dry eye?
Although discussion of fish omega forms has centered on their use for dry eye, research has not yet shown fish omegas to be a lead dry eye player. Instead, they are a useful adjunct to GLA, an omega that has demonstrated significant dry eye benefit in three clinical trials. When the fish omega EPA is paired with GLA, they reduce inflammation in a complementary fashion. HydroEye features GLA plus USP-verified fish oil that, along with other important nutrients, fights inflammation and supports all three layers of the tear film.
