7Eye by Panoptx Goggles

Panoptx is now 7-Eye. 

Don't let dry eye symptoms limit your lifestyle.   No matter how mild or severe your dry eye symptoms are, you can benefit from the special protection provided by 7EYE  Like old-fashioned moisture chamber goggles that have been prescribed for years for patients with dry eye symptoms, glasses from 7EYE help retain corneal moisture and block evaporation, but they do so much more.  The precise fit and filtered vents of our patented Orbital Seal know down wind, dust, glare, allergens and other airborne irritants, so you're free to live your life to the fullest.

There are many factors that can influence the onset and aggravation of dry eye symptoms, not the least of which is the aging process itself.  It's an inevitable fact that as we age, our eyes lose some of their natural lubricating ability.  Prolonged contact lens wear can also induce dry eye symptoms, particularly at the end of the day.  Other candidates for extra dry eye protection can includepost-LASIK patients, allergy sufferers and people who take certain medications.  Whatever the origin of your dry eye symptoms, wearing 7EYE, in conjunction with other therapies, can help alleviate the discomfort caused by dry eye. 

Dry Eye Accelerators
People who engage in certain sports or recreational activities accelerate or exacerbate the conditions that lead to dry eye (and other eye afflictions).  In the Definition and Classification of Dry Eye disease: Report of the Definition and Classification Subcommittee on the International Dry Eye Workshop (2007), "high wind velocity" is cited as a principal environment factor contributing to dry eye.  This means motorcyclists, skiers and others who expose themselves to high wind are compounding their risk of experiencing dry eye symptoms. 

·         Wind:  Given the harmful effects that wind has on both visibility and eye health, every motorcyclist who cares about their eyes should wear 7EYE.  The orbital seal locks out wind, allergens and other airborne irritants and holds moisture in. Super-strong lenses powered by NXT add to the protection package. 

·         Snow:  Skiers and other who enjoy winter sports expose themselves to the risk of snow blindness due to the amount of reflected glare rebounding off the snow.  Only eyewear that completely blocks peripheral glare from all angles protects the eye from this most pernicious form of UV radiation.

·         Water:  Fisherman know how reflective glare inhibits visibility.  Eyes fatigue faster and the visual acuity required to fish effectively diminishes over the course of the day.  Polarized lenses cut the glare, but can't block the more potent and damaging light t hat attacks the eyes from the sides. 

·         Sun: If you are a contact lens wearer, an allergy sufferer or take certain prescription medications, you don't need to be in the wind to experience dry eye symptoms. No matter what aggravates your dry eye symptoms, adding 7EYE to your routine therapy will reduce irritation and increase comfort.

Seal Protection Factor (SPF)
7Eye offers two distinct solutions for dry eye sufferers, depending on the severity of their symptoms or the environment the eyewear is needed for.  People with stage one or two of Dysfunctional Tear Syndrome (as defined by the Delphi panel and the 2007 DEWS report) can benefit from our SPF75 models, while people with more severe dry eye symptoms, including stage three and stage four DTS patients, may prefer the more complete protection of a SPF100 frame.

Panoptx Warranty:  Panoptx eyewear is warranted against defects in material or manufacturing for one year from the date of purchase. Lenses are not warranted against scratches.  Please read and follow the lens care instructions.

The technology that makes 7EYE the superior eyewear solution for dry eye sufferers is our patented Orbital Seal.  It consists of a removable, multi-material eyecup that fills the space between the frame from and the wearer's face, effectively blocking wind, glare and irritants out while trapping moisture in.  Filtered vents manage airflow within the eyecup and helps keep the lenses clear.  The eyecup is removable for those occasions when full protection isn't required, or to replace a damaged or worn eyecup.

The closed-cell foam air dam that lines the perimeter of the inside of the frame of the SPF75 models breaks up wind flow before it can reach your eye, just like the small wind barrier that pops up when you open a car's sunroof.  The air dam is about 75% as effective in knocking down wind and blocking out peripheral glare.  The air dam won't absorb water, sunscreen or make-up and can be cleaned with the same soapy water you use to clean your lenses.
