For individuals suffering from Dry Eye Disease (DED), finding a long-term treatment solution that doesn't require constant reliance on artificial tears can be challenging. Diquas S (Diquafosol Sodium 3%) is an innovative eye drop designed to stimulate the body’s natural tear production, providing a sustainable option that helps maintain a balanced tear film naturally.
Unlike conventional artificial tears that provide only temporary moisture, Diquas S works at the cellular level, activating biological mechanisms that enhance tear production, mucin secretion, and tear film stability. This leads to reduced dependence on artificial tears and prolonged eye hydration.
How Diquas S Works
The key ingredient in Diquas S is Diquafosol Sodium, a P2Y2 receptor agonist that stimulates corneal and conjunctival epithelial cells, resulting in:
Stimulated Aqueous Tear Secretion
Activates P2Y2 purinergic receptors on conjunctival cells
Enhances tear production from the lacrimal gland, improving the tear film’s aqueous layer
Increased Mucin Secretion
Encourages goblet cells in the conjunctiva to produce MUC5AC, a crucial tear film component
Helps stabilize the tear film, reducing tear evaporation and providing long-lasting hydration
Tear Film Restoration and Repair
Balances the three tear film layers: Aqueous, Mucin, and Lipid
Strengthens the ocular surface, reducing dryness-related irritation
✔ Addresses the root cause by stimulating natural tear production
✔ Provides long-term relief, rather than temporary hydration
✔ Suitable for individuals with MGD (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction) and mucin deficiency
✔ Preservative-free, minimizing irritation risks
Diquafosol Sodium is recommended for patients with:
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) – Common in individuals experiencing evaporative dry eye
Unstable Tear Film – Caused by mucin deficiency, leading to tear film instability
Post-LASIK Dry Eye – Due to tear film disruption after refractive surgery
Chronic Dry Eye Disease – For patients seeking long-term treatment without immunosuppressants
Reduce Artificial Tear Dependency – Switch to a Natural Hydration Solution
Many dry eye sufferers rely on frequent artificial tear use throughout the day. However, standard artificial tears provide only temporary moisture and do not address the underlying cause of tear production deficiency. Diquas S helps restore natural tear production, reducing the need for artificial tears and providing long-lasting eye comfort.
If you are looking for a medically researched, long-term solution for dry eyes, Diquas S is designed to restore tear film function and reduce reliance on conventional eye drops.
At AtEye Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease with cutting-edge ophthalmic innovations. Our services include advanced diagnostic assessments and personalized treatment plans for all types of dry eye conditions.
In addition to Diquas S, we offer Eyelid Spa Therapy, which stimulates the Meibomian Glands in the eyelids to enhance lipid secretion and naturally reduce dry eye symptoms. If you are struggling with chronic dry eye, consult our specialists at AtEye Clinic and discover a natural approach to restoring eye hydration.
