Rosenberg, TX (September 21, 2011) – OCuSOFT, Inc., an ophthalmic research, development, and supply company, is pleased to announce the results of a recent study1 evaluating the effects of Tears Again® HYDRATE™ (OCuSOFT, Inc.), a proprietary blend of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, on dry eye signs and symptoms with or without concomitant topical cyclosporine A.
