The Dry Eye Remedy: Complete Guide to Restoring the Health and Beauty of Eyes
Her eyes are tired, irritated. She rubs them. The rubbing irritates her eyes even more. She gets herself some drops from the drugstore and forgets all about it. Then one day, she looks at herself in the mirror and sees lines, wrinkles, bags, redness that was never there before. She may suffer from dry eye disorder - along with 77 million other Americans.
 Eye discomfort is not normal. Dry eye disorder affects the tear film - the essential coating that protects the surface of the eye, washes away irritants, and creates a crystal-clear window through which we see. Dry eye often starts as a minor irritation, but can develop into a major problem affecting vision and appearance, or be a signal of a deeper disorder. Sufferers of dry eye have more trouble with routine activities like reading, driving at night, or even using the phone or ATM. Intermittent blurry vision and chronic irritation saps the person's energy and robs the body of its natural vigor.
In The Dry Eye Remedy (Hatherleigh Press, 2007), Robert Latkany, M.D. - founder and director of the Dry Eye Clinic at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, gives dry eye sufferers simple and practical ways to improve their vision, reduce wrinkles and redness, and restore overall eye health without surgery. Dr. Latkany, an ophthalmologist specializing in dry eye, provides readers with information on:
- Environmental adjustments and lifestyle changes that offer relief and improve appearance, such as installing a humidifier or drinking more water
- Simple treatment solutions that work, like the Home Eye Spa program
- Research on which medications (both over-the-counter and prescription) and medical procedures can help and which to avoid.
People that work in front of a computer all day or spend their evenings glued to the television set are susceptible to dry eye disorder. Contact lens wearers, people with allergies, peri-menopausal women, and people who have undergone laser eye surgery or cosmetic eye surgery, are especially prone to dry eye disorder. If words on a page tend to blur together or never seem big enough, or if a person needs a new lens prescription every two years, they may already have dry eyes.
Symptoms of dry eyes (also known as dysfunctional tear syndrome) include: sensations of stinging, burning, grittiness, and itching in the eyes; sensitivity to light; the feeling that there is something in the eye; soreness, redness, the inability to wear contact lenses for very long; an aged and wrinkled appearance and the area around the eyes. Traditional solutions, such as eyedrops and eyelid surgery, may actually make the problem worse in the long run.
The Dry Eye Remedy is a tool to ensure there is "not a dry eye in the house." Before starting any treatment program, consult with an eye doctor. Most treatments are covered by health insurance. If someone suffers from the symptoms of dry eye, now is the time to act. Take care of eyes by establishing a treatment therapy or maintenance regime that is right, before the condition becomes far more severe.
