The ZEST Procedure for Dry Eye in Round Rock, TX
At Aspire Vision Care in Round Rock, we now offer the ZEST procedure, a gentle, in-office eyelid cleaning treatment designed to relieve dry eye symptoms at the source.
ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Technology) is both soothing and effective. This spa-like treatment targets dirt, oil, and bacterial buildup that traditional home care routines often miss. ZEST gives your eyelids the deep clean they’ve been waiting for.
What Is the ZEST Procedure?
ZEST is a non-invasive treatment that gently removes biofilm, debris, and buildup along the eyelid margin using a natural okra-based gel solution. It’s performed by our eye doctors right here in our office and typically takes just 15–20 minutes.
Unlike harsher options, ZEST doesn’t require anesthesia, and most of our patients describe the experience as relaxing and refreshing. Many notice a 50% or greater improvement in symptoms immediately after the first session.
ZEST can help with:
- Dry, gritty, or irritated eyes
- Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids)
- Demodex mites (eyelash mites and their telltale debris)
- Recurring styes or swollen lids
- Poor tear film quality
