ZEST Procedure

What is the ZEST procedure?

What is the ZEST procedure?

While exploring our website, you may have come across our range of products for at-home care. However, we also offer an exceptional solution called ZocuKit™, specifically designed for advanced dry eye specialists to perform the ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Technology) procedure in the office. Our ZocuKit™ pack for the ZEST procedure is sold only to medical professionals and is unavailable to consumers. 

Just as regular brushing is essential for maintaining oral hygiene, eyelid hygiene is crucial for ocular health. However, even with diligent home care, it can be challenging to completely remove the biofilm or "tartar" that accumulates on the eyelid margin. The ZEST procedure offers a painless and effective solution for eliminating this grimy build-up of dirt, bacteria, and debris. ZEST can also remove the hardy Demodex collars around the base of your lash, thereby opening and exposing the follicles to optimize the effectiveness of other dry eye measures. 

The lid margin plays a pivotal role in ocular health, and that's why renowned dry eye specialists worldwide utilize the ZEST procedure to manage their patients with severe dry eye.  

When would my eye care specialist perform ZEST on my eyes?

The ZEST® procedure is a remarkably versatile and clinically effective in-office treatment option your eye doctor can now employ to address a wide range of previously challenging conditions. Whether it's a sudden painful, swollen stye, Demodex, blepharitis, or other lid or ocular surface conditions, ZEST is there for your eyes.

One of the key advantages of ZEST is its gentleness, eliminating the need for anesthesia during the procedure. In fact, it feels like a soothing spa treatment for your eyes. The results are impressive, with most patients experiencing a 50% or greater improvement from their baseline within just 15-20 minutes following the ZEST procedure.

If you're curious about how ZEST can benefit your eyes, don't hesitate to consult your eye doctor and inquire about this groundbreaking therapy. Your eyes deserve the best care, and ZEST might be just the option you've been searching for.

How often should I have the ZEST® procedure done?

Just as our teeth require daily brushing to ensure their health and function, our eyes demand the same level of attention and care. We all agree that dental hygiene is essential. We also must recognize the significance of daily eyelid hygiene, which holds even greater importance considering the irreplaceable nature of our eyes.

Despite diligent dental care at home, tartar gradually builds up on our teeth, necessitating a visit to the dentist every six months for a thorough cleaning to remove stubborn plaque. Similarly, our eyelids accumulate a biofilm or "plaque," even with regular at-home eyelid cleansing. Schedule a ZEST® procedure with our eye doctor every six months to provide optimal care for our invaluable eyes.

By embracing this proactive approach to eye care, we ensure our eyes receive the attention and upkeep they deserve. Don't delay; make your ZEST appointment with your eye doctor today, safeguarding the precious gift of vision for years to come.

How many clinics use ZEST?

Today, Zocular is used in 2,000+ eye care clinics across the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom and has become part of both at-home hygiene routines and in-office care. In particular, the ZEST® (Zocular Eyelid System Technology) procedure is performed by eye care professionals as an in-office eyelid cleaning treatment, often recommended alongside daily maintenance at home.
