Advance Triple Action Drop Case Study

Dry Eye Disease is a complex and debilitating inflammatory condition of the ocular surface. Eye drops are usually our first line of management.

What do we want from our drops:
Clinically we strive for better tear film stability and a reduction in cellular damage and inflammation of the ocular surface. For the patient we want a relief of symptoms, better comfort and quality of life and functionality of everyday tasks.

Understanding the ingredients is key in choosing drops:

Main ingredients in The Eye Doctor Advanced Triple Action Eye Drops -
1. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring non-toxic substance in the body that retains water. Rich in hydroxyl-groups that attract water molecules, thus thickening and stabilising the tear film, aiding lubrication. It also reduces evaporation of the tears from the ocular surface, managing the hyperosmolarity which is a key factor in triggering inflammation ad damage to the ocular surface.
2. Trehalose, Is a naturally occurring sugar found in some plants and animals. It is a substance that is known to be protective to cell membranes and is known for it’s osmoprotective properties in eyedrops combating the spiral of inflammation in Dry Eye Disease.
3. Glycerin a substance that comes from plants. It is a compound that has moisture retaining and preserving properties. It is shown to positively extend tear break up time.
4. Sacha Inchi Seed Oil is an oil made from the seeds of a perennial plant in the amazon. It is an excellent emollient, and the oil enhances the retention of eyedrops on the ocular surface improving patient symptoms. By and large this means that the frequency the patient must insert eyedrops reduces.

The Eye Doctor Advanced Triple Action Eye Drops were independently selected with a recent patient and here are their circumstances.

I had been wearing contact lenses while away playing golf in Spain and would describe the conditions as dry, hot & dusty.
The first 2 days of wearing contact lenses during the day were ok, and the new pair I wore for the evenings were also fine.
On the 3rd day out on the course, my contact lenses started to feel very irritable, causing my eyes to be watery. I kept trying to gently re-position the lenses which caused further irritation. When I had a chance to wash my hands, I removed the contact lenses (I still won the match, even with a watery left eye!!).
I started using eye drops to soothe the irritation and stopped wearing my contact lenses.
Upon arriving home my left eye was still inflamed. Fortunately, I had a bottle of Advanced Triple Action drops and the AOS Vision mobile app, so I started taking images that an optometrist then analysed.

Once I had sent my images in, my optometrist received a notification – example below.

My optometrist used the AOS objective grading tool to give me a score to demonstrate how the drops had improved the irritation (redness).

I was then sent a report showing me the results over the 2 days that proved the drops were working and had reduced the inflammation.

I was advised to continue with the drops until the soreness had eased and the redness had disappeared.
My optometrist also advised me that I should have sent images immediately while in Spain, via the AOS app, so she could have monitored my condition from the start.
