 We always strive to comfort, surrounding himself with beautiful and convenient things: a personal computer will quickly write a business plan or report, air conditioning will want us climate, private car eliminates the need to push on public transport, and the TV will brighten up leisure time and help you relax at the end of a heavy working day. All this, of course, good for the soul, but that's the health of science and technology do not add. In particular, one of the unpleasant consequences of the abuse of the benefits of civilization can be a dry eye syndrome.
What is dry eye syndrome (dry eye syndrome)
Probably, you do not just notice that after a long work on the computer or reading a long book, sometimes a burning and itching in the eyes, like someone poured sand in them, or hit some mote. Picture blurred eyes blush ... But you blinked good - and it became much easier. That's right: you are moistened with tears dried up plenochku covering the eye, and restore its natural state. When this happens more and more irritated and using Blink solve this problem turns out less frequently, there is nothing left once to go to an ophthalmologist, who will put you diagnosed with blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), or "dry eye syndrome". However, you are not alone - according to statistics, it is one of the most common problems that are now turning to the eye doctor (ophthalmologist).
As you know, for the normal functioning of the eye requires a continuous development of tears. It protects the eyeball from drying and harmful microorganisms, but also contains substances that nourish the cornea. The main components of tears are produced in ages, so if inflamed eyelids, impaired secretion of tears. It is not enough, hence - the very unpleasant symptoms such as irritation and itching. What can cause disturbances? And a big strain on the eyes (such as when reading or working at a computer), and tobacco smoke, and dry indoor air and dust in the street. Even the absence of the necessary amounts of vitamins associated with poor diet can lead to dry eye syndrome. About contact lenses and can not speak - almost every second of their uses is suffering from this disease. It is also observed that are more prone to this disorder allergies.
How to treat
The treatment of dry eye syndrome is to save the maximum amount of natural moisture (tear fluid). This does not mean that you have to constantly cry and carry with them hundreds of handkerchiefs. Enough time to time to use special drugs that help eliminate discomfort and stimulates the natural process of tearing.
There are special funds that mimic natural tear - consistency, and even taste really resemble tears. They act as a rule, not for long, so you have to dig them every 3-4 hours.
The gel-like artificial tears, appeared relatively recently, are more dense texture and increased duration of action. They are not bad, when you want to quickly fix a burning sensation in the eyes, but there are also serious disadvantage: helping solve the problem temporarily, they do not eliminate its causes and, therefore, symptoms may occur again and again. So if you really want to be cured, will have to choose the "medicine" with a slightly different mechanism of action.
According of candidate of medical sciences, professor GS Polunin, a developer of drugs Blefarogel 1 and 2, "to get rid of dry eye syndrome can only be regular care for centuries. It is advisable to use products containing hyaluronic acid (it cleans the ducts of the lacrimal glands from the traffic jams and normalizes secretion, restores moisture balance of the skin, improves elasticity) and aloe extract, which has antiseptic properties. Often, dry eye is caused by inflammatory diseases of age - blepharitis, so care should be directed not to a speedy outcome, and the total elimination of the disease. Take care of your eyes will have a daily, not from time to time. For maximum effect, the application of specific drugs can be accompanied by a light massage century, improves blood circulation and normalizing the outflow of secretion lacrimal glands, eliminating the feeling of eye fatigue. "
There is also a fundamentally different direction in the elimination of dry eye syndrome, which used surgical methods
. The main purpose of the operation - the creation of temporary or permanent conditions to reduce the outflow of tear fluid
. The tear ducts are placed tiny wads of soluble collagen or silicone, they and retain precious moisture, allowing the eye to feel comfortable
. Not so long ago there was one surgical method of healing infirmity - transplant lower salivary glands
. Their secret is similar in composition to natural tears, and differs from it only more viscous
. Experience shows that patients undergoing this operation, do not feel discomfort, and only some of them continue to periodically use artificial tear preparations
. Two drawbacks: the procedure is expensive and quite complicated in execution
. Also be sure to keep in mind that any surgery - is a serious stress to the body
. It takes a certain recovery period, during which the regime will have to comply with and be seen by a doctor
.
