menthol and Dry Eye Syndromes

menthol has been researched along with Dry Eye Syndromes in 9 studies

Menthol: A monoterpene cyclohexanol produced from mint oils.

Dry Eye Syndromes: Corneal and conjunctival dryness due to deficient tear production, predominantly in menopausal and post-menopausal women. Filamentary keratitis or erosion of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium may be caused by these disorders. Sensation of the presence of a foreign body in the eye and burning of the eyes may occur.

Trial Outcomes

Sum of the Cooling Scale For Rohto (r) Hydra

Participants completed the cooling scale after receiving 1 dose of Rohto (r) Hydra at 6 time points (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 minutes post-treatment), and the scores were summed across these time points. The cooling scale was on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0=not cool and 10=very cool. The summed total was on a scale of 0= not cool and 60=very cool. (NCT02985827)
