Hypochlorous Acid Spray: Not Just for Feet —A Daily Tool for Protecting Eye Health in Sjögren’s Syndrome

When talk about hypochlorous acid spray, we think of foot care—preventing fungal nails, soothing athlete’s foot, or calming irritated skin. But this simple, medical-grade solution has far broader applications, including supporting eye health in people living with Sjögren’s syndrome.

Looking hopefully at the ocean

What is Sjögren’s Syndrome?

Sjögren’s syndrome is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the glands that produce moisture. This can lead to:

• Dry eyes – a gritty, burning, or itchy sensation due to lack of tears

• Dry mouth – making it difficult to swallow or speak comfortably

• Increased risk of infection – especially eye infections, because tears normally help protect the eyes by washing away bacteria and fungi

For patients with Sjögren’s, keeping the eyes clean and reducing microbial buildup is critical. Protecting eye health with hypochlorous acid spray daily prevents recurrent eye infections.

How Hypochlorous Acid Helps

Hypochlorous acid is a substance naturally produced by our immune system to fight off bacteria, viruses, and fungi. When formulated into a stable spray, it offers these same protective benefits externally.

For eye health, hypochlorous acid spray can:

• Reduce bacterial and fungal load on the eyelids and lashes, lowering the risk of infection

• Soothe inflammation and irritation without stinging or burning

• Support daily eyelid hygiene—especially helpful for those prone to blepharitis or recurrent conjunctivitis

• Provide a safe, non-antibiotic option for ongoing prevention

Using Hypochlorous Acid Spray for Eye Protection

While hypochlorous acid spray is safe for skin and mucous membranes, it’s important to use it around the eyes rather than directly in the eyes. Here’s how:

1. Wash your hands.

2. Spray a small amount of hypochlorous acid solution onto a clean cotton pad or gauze.

3. Gently wipe along the lash line and eyelid margins, keeping eyes closed.

4. Allow the area to air dry for 60 seconds

This routine, when done daily, can help keep the eyelids clean, reduce microbial buildup, and prevent infections—especially for patients with Sjögren’s syndrome.
