So what is hypochlorous acid and how do you use it? Well in this video I'm
reviewing the science of this product plus how you can use it to fight eyelid
inflammation and prevent infection so let's take a look! This video is brought
to you by OCuSOFTT the number one doctor recommended brand of island
cleansers hey everyone welcome this to dr. Joe Allen in from Doctor Eye Health the
channel helps with the eyes vision and finding the best vision product so if
you're new here consider subscribing so you don't miss any of my future videos
also at any point throughout the video you can check out the show notes and
links below for further information about everything that we mentioned
including some extra detailed research articles if you want to learn a little
bit more otherwise let's go over exactly what is hypochlorous acid? Hypochlorous
acid is considered a bactericidal compound which is effective at fighting
a very wide range of bacteria I mean wow look at how crazy long this list is and
it's natural the neutrophil white blood cells within your body actually create
hypochlorous acid on their own naturally to help fight infection but now we
actually have hypochlorous acid as a safe non-toxic spray and is currently
being used across all of healthcare for multiple different ailments but what's
great about hypochlorous acid the real beauty of it is not just that it's very
effective at fighting microorganisms but that it's safer than most other
disinfecting agents such as hydrogen peroxide or bleach and an eye care
specifically this product has been revolutionizing the way doctors manage
eyelid health because it's been clinically proven to help fight against
different eyelid conditions such as blepharitis and demodex mites both of
which contribute significantly to the development of meibomian gland
dysfunction and chronic dry eye disease plus it is even effective at preventing
development of sties and other eyelid infections
that's exactly why so many doctors are recommending products such as ocusoft
hypochlor to help with a daily eyelid hygiene regimen actually have you ever
heard of a health care professional mentioning - hypochlorous acid before who is
it for eyelid health or was it for something completely different
go ahead and comment the section below and let us know what you are you
for the course asking to be made through three different ways it can be made
through the hydrolysis of chlorine gas through the electrolysis of a salt
solution or from the acidification of hypochlorite most companies do not make
the hypochlorous acid through the first method because chlorine gas is very
dangerous and difficult to work with so most companies are either using the
electrolysis method or through the acidification of hypochlorite but
ultimately the purity of the hypochlorous acid is equivalent and made
the same so the effectiveness of their bactericidal properties as well as
its safety profile are all the same now if you've never used hypochlorous acid
before the most frequent thing i ever who reported it is that kind of smells
like bleach in fact if you think it smells like bleach go and let me know
but the reality is rest assured it is not bleach it only kind of smells like
bleach because they are very similar compounds where hypochlorous acid is an
acid on the lower end of the ph scale and bleach is actually a base on the far
opposite end of the pH scale yay chemistry
now again hypochlorous acid is excellent for treating both blepharitis as well as
demodex mites but if you don't know too much about what those are and you want
to learn some more I do have them hooked up an entire playlist about eyelid
health and hooked it up here in the YouTube card above as well as in the
description below otherwise using hypochlorous acid solution is very easy
to do because it is in a spray bottle form you can do it through two different
methods you can either close your eyes spray it directly onto your eyelids and
then use either a cotton ball or other lint-free cloth to go ahead and just
wipe away and gently clean the eyelids making sure they drag away along the
eyelid margin right on the eyelashes away from the eye otherwise you can use
the method that I like to use where I spray the solution directly onto a
cotton ball and then go ahead and clean each eyelid individually I also use a
different cotton ball for each eyelid just be sure to really get at the
eyelashes themselves hypochlorous acid solutions such as Ocusoft's Hypochlor
is found over-the-counter you do not need a prescription for it in that it's safe to
use every single day so if you're having problem with either blepharitis or
other eyelid irritation it is recommended that you try to keep a good
eyelid hygiene regimen on a daily basis either using
something like hypochlorous acid or with other eyelid cleansing products so I
health question of the day do you have any other questions about hypochlorous
acid specifically or what other products are you using to help keep your eyelids
