Why Most Dry Eye Treatments Fail (And What We Did About It)

By the HallunaCo. Team

If you're reading this, chances are you've been down the same road as thousands of others—spending hundreds (or even thousands) on dry eye treatments that promise relief but fall short.

You try drops.
Warm compresses.
Omega supplements.
You visit doctors who wave it off as “screen strain” or just hand you another sample of artificial tears.

And through it all, your eyes are still dry. Red. Irritated. Unbearably fatigued by the end of the day. We’ve heard these stories hundreds of times and we’ve lived them, too.

Here’s What No One Tells You

The real culprit in many cases of Dry Eye Disease is something deeper: Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
 

Your eyelids have tiny oil glands that keep your tear film stable. When these glands get clogged or stop functioning, your eyes dry out—no matter how many drops you use. But most treatments? They only cover up the symptoms.
 

That’s the fundamental problem.

Why Traditional Treatments Keep Letting You Down

Let’s break down the reality:
 

Artificial Tears: Quick fix. Short relief. Doesn’t treat the underlying issue.

Warm Compresses: Hard to be consistent with, and rarely penetrate deep enough to make a lasting difference.

Steroids & Antibiotics: Risky long-term. Mask symptoms, don’t resolve the cause.

Nutritional Supplements: Can help, but results vary widely and take months.

IPL Treatments: Expensive, inconsistent, and not an option for all skin tones.
 

In short: they’re all chasing symptoms. Not solutions.

Why Traditional Treatments Keep Letting You Down

At HallunaCo, we were tired of band-aid solutions. That’s why we created Halo Pods.. a first-of-its-kind, wearable device that combines Red Light Therapy and Microcurrent Stimulation to target dry eyes at the source.
 

Instead of masking symptoms, Halo Pods help:

Unclog and reactivate the meibomian glands

Reduce inflammation and support tissue repair

Rebuild tear stability over time

Deliver real relief.. daily, from home
 

They’re wireless, gentle, and designed for everyday use with our AnGels adhesive pads to keep everything precisely in place.

No doctor’s appointment. No pain. No more chasing temporary fixes.

What Changed When People Started Using Halo Pods

The stories we hear are powerful:
 

“I haven’t needed eye drops in weeks.”
“For the first time, my eyes aren’t the first thing I think about when I wake up.”
“Doctors didn’t believe me—Halo Pods did.”
 

These aren’t just testimonials. They’re proof that when you finally address the root cause, the results feel life-changing.

The Bottom Line

Dry eye doesn’t just make your eyes uncomfortable—it affects your entire quality of life. It makes it hard to work, hard to drive, hard to enjoy the things you love. And it’s time we stop settling for temporary relief.

Halo Pods are our answer to years of frustration—ours, and yours.

If you’ve been through it all and nothing’s stuck, maybe it’s time to try something built with people like you in mind.
