Dry eye Disease, is a condition that affects many pets, causing discomfort, itching and even vision loss. Until now, treatment options were limited and often ineffective. However, the arrival of Vicen Vet, a pioneering device by Gran Canaria ophthalmologist Vicente Rodríguez, has revolutionized the panorama.
A technological advance
Vicen Vet is a light, innovative and versatile device that incorporates a pen that looks like an ergonomic ballpoint pen. Its handling is very simple, and it has different applicators that allow you to create a DIRECT CURRENT FLOW. This direct current flow stimulates Meibomian Glands and tear production, improving the quality of the tear film, which in turn relieves dry eye symptoms and protects the ocular surface.
Beyond Dry Eye Disease
Vicen Vet applications are not limited to the treatment of dry eyes. This device can also be used to address other eye conditions such as blepharitis, entropion, ectropion, and lacrimal punctum imperforation. In addition, Vicen Vet has been shown to be effective in the management of benign eyelid and vascular tumors.
An effective and safe alternative
Vicen Vet offers an effective and safe alternative to traditional Dry Eye treatments. This device does not require surgery, and its application is quick and painless for animals.
A resounding success
The presentation of Vicen Vet at the 1st VICEN VET Symposium, held on April 19 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, was a resounding success. Attendees showed great interest in this device, and highlighted its potential to improve the quality of life of pets.
Impact in the media
The impact of Vicen Vet has not been limited to the scope of the Symposium. Various media outlets, such as La Provincia a general information newspaper and TV media echoed this pioneering invention and have highlighted its importance for the advancement of veterinary ophthalmology.
A promising future
Dr. Vicente Rodríguez is optimistic about the future of Vicen Vet. The device is now available in different veterinary centers in the Canary Islands and the Iberian Peninsula, and the company has distributors in several countries in Europe and America. Additionally, Dr. Rodríguez is involved on the European Distribution, of new intraocular lenses for cataract surgery in dogs, a project that has the potential to further revolutionize the treatment of common eye diseases in animals such as Cataract.
