Eye Mo Moist: A must-have item during Silent Outbreak Dry Eye Disease (DED)

The condition known as dry eyes disease (DED) is currently becoming more widespread but goes unreported. The fact that 1 in 5 Filipinos suffer from this illness, which is made worse by our excessive screen time, is a cause for concern. Experts claim that concern over this matter has been growing over time.

“Our country has a high cases number of dry eye disease. It causes various amounts of discomfort, which can have an influence on our daily lives. Dry eye condition should never be underestimated. If left untreated, dry eye disease can even result in serious consequences.” ~Dr. Jennifer Joy Santos-Rayos, Ophthalmologist

When there is insufficient moisture in the eyes, or when tears are produced, they may not be of sufficient quality or composition to lubricate the eyes properly, causing inflammation or surface damage. This condition is known as dry eyes disease, or DED. Most dry eye conditions are caused by prolonged use of electronics. Prolonged exposure to the dry air found in air-conditioned environments can also lead to dry eye disease. Millions of people consequently suffer from the three main signs of dry eye disease: burning (Mahapding Mata), sandy (Magaspang na Mata), and tired (Pagod na Mata).

Eye Mo, a reputable international brand that has been a household name in the Philippines for over 50 years, offers a full range of products to help Filipinos with irritated eyes. Eye Mo Moist relieves dry and tired eyes, Eye Mo Red Eyes soothes irritated red eyes, and Eye Mo Daily Care cleanses and calms itching. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that hypromellose is the first line of treatment for dry eyes, and Eye Mo Moist contains it.

“Eye Mo as the household eye drop brand in the Philippines take responsibility to educate Filipinos how to take care their eyes when it comes to dry eyes condition with the launch of Eye Mo new campaign title “Wag Tiisin ang Dry Eyes #MoistUrEyes”.  More than just a campaign, it is a call to action. We aim to raise awareness about the prevalence of dry eyes disease and the importance of proper eye care. Through this campaign, we will disseminate educational materials, engage with communities, and collaborate with healthcare professionals to spread our message far and wide. Furthermore, our impact extends beyond the products we offer. Eye Mo has been a staunch advocate for accessible and affordable eye care for all Filipinos.” ~Weitarsa Hendarto, Director International Operations, PT Combiphar

“We Filipinos are known to be matiisin (long suffering), we like to endure pain even if there is a solution available. We use our eyes for so many things, whether at work or at play, and protecting them should always be the primary concern. Eye Mo is definitely the brand of eye care formula that can provide that protection. This is why we launch the Wag tiisin ang dry eyes #MoistUrEyes Campaign (Don’t endure dry eyes #MoistUrEyes). Ken Chan, the multi-awarded actor in the Philippines.” ~Earl Jayona, Sr Marketing Manager Eye Mo

“Aside from using my eyes to read movie script, it is also important to protect my eyes because as an actor, I often work the whole day and most of the time, it extends up to the next day, which makes my eyes prone to symptoms of dry eyes. I need an eye care solution to keep my eyes moisturized and protected, and that is none other than Eye Mo Moist.” ~Ken Chan, Celebrity Brand Ambassador for Eye Mo Philippines

Aside from Eye Mo Moisturizing Formula, you can count on the “Eye Mo Daily Care Formula” to cleans eyes and relieve itchiness from daily irritants brought by pollution and contact lens wearer, and “Eye Mo Red Eyes Formula,” to clear eye redness.
