Announcing Webinar to Shed New Light on Treatment for Dry Eye Sufferers
Morrisville, NC (PRWEB) November 11, 2014 -- TearScience and Allaboutvision.com will be conducting a webinar on November 19th, 2014 from 1:00 to 1:30 pm EST that will provide enlightening information on the root cause of roughly 90% of dry eye. Millions suffer from dry eye across the world but recent research has shown that the majority of those who have been diagnosed with dry eye most likely suffer from Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and it is treatable.
The webinar will explain how essential oils produced by the Meibomian glands in the eyelids can become blocked. When these glands are blocked, the needed oils are not sufficiently produced and the protective watery layer in the eyes evaporates. This is what causes the sensation of scratchy, tired and irritated eyes associated with dry eye. Dr. Arthur Epstein, one of the nation’s foremost experts on dry eye, will conduct the webinar and will provide informative insight about Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and modern treatments that are available today. Mr. Tim Willis, CEO of TearScience, the pioneering company who developed LipiFlow Treatment, will also participate.
The webinar will last approximately 20 minutes and there will be 10 minutes for direct questions. All those who attend the webinar and take a short survey afterwards will receive a $100 voucher good towards a LipiFlow treatment. TearScience Inc. is presenting the Webinar in association with allaboutvision.com.
