Avenova®

What Is Avenova®?

Avenova® is a prescription-strength lid hygiene spray containing pure hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a substance naturally produced by the body’s immune system to fight bacteria and inflammation.

It is specifically formulated for daily use on the eyelids and lashes to:

• Reduce harmful bacteria
• Clean debris and buildup along the lash line
• Support healing of inflamed eyelid tissue
• Improve the overall health of the tear film

Why Avenova® Matters for Dry Eye

The eyelids play a critical role in maintaining a healthy tear film.

When bacteria accumulate along the lash line:

• Inflammation increases
• Oil glands become blocked
• Tear quality decreases
• Dry eye symptoms worsen

Who Should Use Avenova®?

Avenova® is ideal for patients with:

• Blepharitis (eyelid inflammation)
• Chronic dry eye symptoms
• Red, irritated, or crusty eyelids
• Contact lens discomfort
• Recurrent styes or chalazia
• Post-treatment maintenance after procedures like ZEST or IPL

It is often a foundational part of a daily eyelid hygiene routine.

How to Use Avenova®

Avenova® is simple and easy to incorporate into your daily routine:

• Spray onto a clean cotton pad or gauze
• Gently clean along the eyelid margins and lashes
• Use once or twice daily as directed

Consistent use helps maintain a clean, healthy eyelid environment and supports long-term dry eye management.
