Eye Drops for Pets: What Is EyeQ?
When it comes to eye health, dogs are more at risk for developing debilitating diseases such as ulcerative keratitis, also known as corneal ulcers–-which can rupture, or in severe cases lead to the loss of an eye. These more advanced eye issues can progress quickly, and if left untreated can cause serious damage or blindness.
As a veterinarian, your job is to deliver the best patient care possible for your four-legged patients, and to make sure they live healthy, happy lives. Our EyeQ Eye Drops are an easy-to-use, non-surgical option that enables you to offer the very best regenerative care, helping you treat your patients with quality and confidence.
What Is a Corneal Ulcer?
A corneal ulcer is a painful wound or an abrasion on the corneal surface. In most cases, a superficial cornea is not a serious injury, but still requires veterinary care.
However, if a patient has a deep corneal ulcer, it’s usually indicative of a bacterial infection. The bacteria release substances that degrade the corneal stroma, causing the ulcer to progress deeper. If the ulcer progresses to the deepest level of Descemet’s membrane, this is referred to as a descemetocele, and is a medical emergency. If the membrane ruptures, the fluid inside of the eye can leak out and cause irreparable damage including blinding damage to the eye.
Eye Drop Treatment for Corneal Ulcers
While the healing process takes place, veterinarians often prescribe antibiotic eye drops to prevent infections as well as anti-inflammatories to reduce inflammation. An eye-drop-based treatment allows for a less invasive way to promote corneal healing. Our eye drops can also be used as an adjunctive therapy—using them alongside antibiotics can be very effective.
What Makes EyeQ Different?
EyeQ Drops Promote Healing
EyeQ’s innate concentrations of growth factors and immuno-privileged components promote rapid cell migration and epithelialization of the defect.
EyeQ Drops Regulate Inflammation
Corneal defects cause dramatic inflammation. With potent concentrations of anti-inflammatory properties, EyeQ Eye Drops regulate inflammation which creates a superior healing environment.
EyeQ Drops Provide Long-Lasting Lubrication
High-molecular weighted Hyaluronic Acid (HC-HA) provides a viscous, long-lasting lubricant that prevents micro-injury caused by blinking.
