Avenova: The Missing Piece in your
Hygiene Management of MGD Dry Eye
AVENOVA® sets a new standard of care in the management of MGD Dry Eye. Avenova is the only pure hypochlorous acid for eyes (HOCl) product shown to safely manage bioburden on the lids and lashes. This is important when managing MGD patients chronically, as Avenova is the only HOCl product FDA cleared for safe, long-term use while reducing bacterial load on the lids and lashes, helping keep your patients' lids healthy.
Manages Bacteria Overpopulation1
In a study published in Clinical Ophthalmology, Avenova was shown to reduce the bacterial load significantly without altering the diversity of bacterial species remaining on the skin.1
Penetrates Biofilm, killing underlying pathogens2
Avenova has been shown to penetrate biofilm and kill the underlying pathogens.
Inactivates Lipase3
Avenova has been tested to inactivate lipase.
In Vitro Comparisons with Betadine4
Avenova has a wider microbial spectrum than Betadine, covering additional bacterial strains.
