mEYEspa (+1 (519) 681-3670), an independent optometry clinic based in London, ON, has released a new guide on eye drops that are suitable for different conditions.

London, Canada - November 12, 2024 —

The aim of the guide is to clear common misconceptions on what types of products can be used for dryness and irritation caused by computer vision syndrome, a number of eye problems related to prolonged screen time. In their guide, mEYEspa explores why conventional eye drops may not alleviate symptoms and offers suggestions on effective alternatives.

Research cited by WebMD has shown that computer vision syndrome (CVS) affects 50% to 90% of individuals who work at a computer screen. Due to the move toward digitalization and remote work, CVS is becoming a major health concern worldwide, says a separate study in Nature’s Scientific Reports journal.

Dry eyes, eye strain, and headaches are some common symptoms of CVS, and although over-the-counter lubricating eye drops are often advertised as a viable solution, mEYEspa’s guide says that such products will not provide relief over the long term. This is because many commercially available eye drops are formulated for females over 50 years old and do not necessarily target the ocular health issues that other demographics may face.

For heavy computer users, mEYEspa’s guide notes that anti-evaporative eye drops are more effective at providing long-lasting relief. Because of their properties, these types of eye drops will not evaporate from the eye, continuously moisturizing it throughout long hours of screen time. Dr. Morris, an optometrist of mEYEspa, cites I-DROP MGD and Thealoz Duo as two products that have been reported by patients to be successful at reducing CVS symptoms.

I-DROP MGD contains 0.20% viscoadaptive hyaluronan, osmoprotectants, and bioprotectants that stabilize the lipid layer while reducing evaporation of the tear film. This allows the product to recoat the surface of the eye with every blink, offering the user prolonged hydration and comfort. Similarly, Thealoz Duo contains trehalose, an anti-evaporative substance found in nature, and sodium hyaluronate, an active ingredient that acts as an ocular lubricant, making it effective for individuals with high screen time demands.

However, mEYEspa’s guide ultimately advises patients to consult their optometrist to examine the causes of any discomfort they experience and make an informed decision about the products that are best for them.
