KCS (Dry Eye)

 

i_drop_vet_eseKeratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is the most common eye disorder and is the result of a decline in the quantity or quality of tears produced.

There are two types of tears produced in the eyes: lubricating tears that moisturize and protect animals’ eyes from infections and reflex tears are a response to environmental stimuli (dust, smoke), or injury. Interestingly enough, ‘watery’ eyes can be a symptom of KCS. Irritants that cause KCS can trigger the production of reflex tears. However, since reflex tears do not have the proper lubricating composition, the discomfort remains.


Common causes of KCS include: aging, hormonal fluctuations, environmental conditions, disease and medication complications. I-MED Animal Health, a world leader in KCS treatment, offers uniquely formulated hyaluronan-based products. The unique elastic and pseudoplastic properties of the hyaluronan component assist in keeping the glycerin lubricant on the surface of the eye longer resulting in enhanced residence time on vital surfaces of the cornea and conjunctiva. The result, a longer-lasting artificial tear that:
  • requires fewer applications,
  • has a lower total therapy cost,
  • has increased comfort, and
  • is easy to instil
