Our practice is excited to offer Zest, a revolutionary treatment for dry eye, blepharitis, and other eyelid conditions. Developed by Dr. Peter Pham, a renowned American ophthalmologist, Zest uses a dedicated gel and cleaning swab to remove harmful biofilm (a thin layer of bacteria and debris that forms on the eyelids, similar to plaque on our teeth), alleviating inflammation and discomfort.
Who Can Benefit from Zest?
Zest is ideal for individuals with persistent dry eye, blepharitis, recurrent styes, or chalazia, especially when other treatments haven’t worked. Dry eyes can cause symptoms such as grittiness, blurred vision, red eyes, and excessive tearing. If left untreated, these symptoms can worsen over time.
How Does Zest Work?
Zest combines natural ingredients like okra polysaccharides, aloe vera, and soy protein to safely clean and soothe your eyelids without irritation. Unlike traditional treatments that use harsh chemicals, Zest effectively removes biofilm without harming or irritating your delicate eyelids and provides lasting relief.
Based on the severity of your eye condition, your treatment plan may include several in-office sessions along with a tailored at-home cleaning routine to improve the effectiveness of the treatment.
Benefits of Zest
- Quick results: Noticeable improvement in symptoms within minutes.
- No anaesthesia required: The treatment is painless.
- Non-invasive: Gently removes biofilm and reduces inflammation with long-lasting relief.
