DOG CAT Dry Eye Drops: Artificial Tears, Itch, Red, Pink, Conjunctivitis, KCS

Vision Tears: Treats Your Pet’s Dry Eye Conditions & Improves Eye Health Without Vet Help!
WHY VISIO TEARS EYE DROPS?
Visio Tears eye drops is a lubricating agent used to treat dogs, cats and other pets with dry eye conditions. It can be used to maintain the lubrication in the eyes and treat symptoms such as irritation, burning and itchiness of the eyes and helps your pet to blink its eyes without discomfort. These pet eye drops are mainly used to treat conditions such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca or tear film deficiencies causing dry eye symptoms such as conjunctivitis, cloudy or dull cornea, increased mucous in or around the eye, corneal ulceration and pigmentation of the cornea due to an advanced eye disease. Visio Tears may also be used as a tear substitute for dogs, cats and other pets with dry eye syndrome, lacrimal secretion deficiency, or any other chronic eye condition where the eye`s cornea needs lubrication. One of the challenges of being a pet owner is that pets are unable to communicate when they are feeling pain or are uncomfortable because of their dry eye condition, so it is necessary to monitor your pet’s behaviors and the development of any alarming symptoms so that conditions can be diagnosed and treated early. Because it can be a cause of a great discomfort for your pet if it suffers from dry eyes, Vision Tears is here to help your pet minimize or get rid of those uncomfortable dry eye symptoms and allow it to live a happier and healthier life.
WHAT IS KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS SICCA (KCS)?
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), or dry eye, is an ocular condition commonly diagnosed in dogs. It is less common in other species. Sometimes called dry eye syndrome, Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is characterized by a deficiency and/or poor quality of the aqueous tear film over the surface of the eye and in the lining of the eyelids. The result is severe drying and inflammation of the cornea (the transparent front part of the eye) and conjunctiva (the clear membrane that covers the
sclera
– the white part of the eye), since tears are needed to provide lubrication and nutrition to the cornea, as well as remove debris and/or infectious agents from the eye.
WHAT CAUSES KCS IN DOGS, CATS & OTHER PETS?
Dry eye syndrome can stem from a number of causes depending upon the genetic composition of your pet as well as other environmental factors. The most common cause of KCS in dogs/cats is immune mediated adenitis (inflammation) of the tear glands. Other causes of KCS include but are not limited to:
Immune-mediated diseases that damage the tear producing glands
Congenital disease, such as small or absent lacrimal glands
Infectious disease, such as canine distemper virus and chlamydia conjunctivitis
Endocrine disease, including hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease, and diabetes mellitus
Neurologic deficiency, such as loss of nerve innervation to the eye
Prolapsed gland of the third eyelid (“cherry eye”) or removal of the gland of the third eyelid
Often a dry nose on the same side as the dry eye(s)
Chronic blepharoconjunctivitis, which is long term inflammation of the conjunctiva and eyelids
Radiation therapy, such as x-rays, near the eye
Drug induced, such as general anesthesia and atropine
Drug toxicity, including use of sulfa derivative medications or etodolac (an NSAID)
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF KCS?
It is important to keep in mind that dry eye syndrome often affects both eyes, but one eye may appear to be more significantly impacted than the other. Below are a handful of the most common symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome in dogs, cats & other pets:
Painful, red, and irritated eyes
Swollen conjunctival blood vessels within the eye (may appear overly red)
Chemosis (swelling of the tissue that lines the eyelids and surface of the eye)
Excessive blinking
Holding eyes shut for long periods of time between blinking
Squinting one or both eyes
Corneal scarring (this may appear like a dark film covering the surface of the eye)
Change in appearance of the cornea due to changes in the blood cells, may include pigmentation and ulceration
The appearance of a third eyelid (prominent nictitans)
The discharge of pus or mucus from the eye
Impaired vision or the complete loss of vision may occur in severe manifestations of dry eye syndrome
HOW IS DRY EYE TREATED?
The treatment of dry eye has two objectives: to stimulate tear production and to repair the tear film, thereby protecting the cornea. Visio Tears provides artificial tears and lubricates, while reducing inflammation. The use of these tear replacement lubricating drops helps improve comfort for many pets suffering from dry eyes. Most dogs/cats will receive artificial tear drops (Visio Tears) every three to four hours (2 to 3 times daily), depending on the need and severity of their dry eye condition. This is critical, in order to keep the cornea moist and healthy, especially during the initial phase of treatment. Visio Tears eye drops are safe to give long term and most pets improve dramatically with their consistent use. As mentioned, the majority of pets respond favorably to Visio Tears, but in severe cases of KCS that are poorly responsive to these eye drops, a surgical procedure called a parotid duct transposition may be needed.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF KCS IS NOT TREATED?
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), or dry eye, if left untreated, may develop secondary corneal ulceration or bacterial conjunctivitis in the eye(s). Corneal ulceration with secondary infection can lead to vision loss or even loss of an eye(s). Chronic, uncontrolled dry eye may also lead to corneal pigmentation, vascularization, and scarring, which may lead to visual impairment.

BENEFITS OF INGREDIENTS:
In eye drops, polyvinyl alcohol is used to increase the viscosity and thereby prolonging contact time of the active ingredient with the eye(s). Providone is a linear polymer (polyvinylpyrrolidone), which has mucinomimetic properties. This polymer helps to retain the tears on the cornea longer. It acts as artificial tears to help ease dryness and soreness associated with dry eye conditions. Chlorbutol is a preservative that has antibacterial and antifungal properties, which is added to the eye drops to avoid the buildup of bacteria in the solution, thus making them last longer.
