GRANTS PASS, Ore., April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dry eye expert Sharon Kleyne, host of the nationally syndicated radio program, The Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, Global Climate Change and Your Health on VoiceAmerica sponsored by Nature's Tears® EyeMist®, recently discussed on air the dry eye and pollution crises in China.

China, according to Kleyne, is acutely aware of the fact that its atmosphere is degraded by pollution levels that are much higher than they should be. Only India's atmosphere can rival China's polluted air, but China is even worse. As a result, millions of Chinese citizens suffer excessive evaporation—loss of body water vapor. Millions more are forced to tackle dry eye disease. 600 million Chinese, says Kleyne, were afflicted with dry eye disease in 2015 and the numbers have continued to climb. Blindness, also out of control in China, can be the ultimate fate of someone suffering from an advanced dry eye condition.

Kleyne teaches that dry eye disease symptoms include itching, blurring, burning, irritation, eyestrain, headache, and/or a 'grainy' sensation, as if small pieces of gravel or glass were in the eye. The ultimate cause of dry eye disease is over-concentration of salt (electrolyte) due to moisture (water) loss in the tear film's aqueous layer. When moisture is depleted, electrolyte and other substances become over-concentrated and discomfort results.

Kleyne, whose water research and new water technology discoveries have earned her the respect of international scientists, researchers and physicians, has spent much of the last two decades looking for solutions to China's dry eye epidemic that would be more effective that face masks and chemically based eye drops. As a result, Bio-Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science®, research center that Kleyne founded and serves as research director, has released mass quantities of Nature's Tears® EyeMist®. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® is currently the only dry eye solution on the global market that supplements the dry eye's tear film with pure water and nothing else.

Kleyne described how Nature's Tears® EyeMist® is applied with a personal hand-held humidifying device emitting a pure, pH balanced, 100% Trade Secret tissue culture grade water in a patented micron-size mist. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® supplements the eye's tear film, which is naturally 99 percent water. "With Natures Tears® EyeMist®," Kleyne said, "tired and irritated eyes are supplemented with pure water, and that's what eyes challenged by dry eye symptoms need. Eye drops may provide some temporary chemical relief," Kleyne continued, "but they can become addictive and even make the dry eye condition worse." Why? Because eye drops only trap water on the eye's tear lens; they do not supplement the tear lens or the moisture (the tears) around it. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® does supplement both.

Early reports from China are promising, according to Kleyne. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® is rapidly becoming the response against dry eye disease of choice among afflicted Chinese women, children and men.
