Patients with severe dry eye now have another option. "Designer" goggle sunglasses from Panoptx Inc. are designed to help patients cope with severe dry eye. Dr. Robert A. Latkany, director of the Dry Eye Clinic at New York Eye & Ear Infirmary conducted a study of 21 patients in the summer of 2005. He used the Ocular Surface Disease Index Score to determine the level of severity of dry eye. On a scale of 0 to 52, patients on average noted a reduction of symptoms from 30.2 to 18.0 after wearing the Panoptx sunglasses for one month.
How does it work. These aren't chamber goggles are they?
ReplyDeleteKevin,
ReplyDeleteClick on the link I included and then choose "How Panoptx works". This will give you the information you need. Yes, these are a form of chamber googles but they have made them more fashionable.
