Post LASIK Dry Eye Relief- My Personal Story

LASIK surgery is very popular, especially with the most recent price drop where more people can afford it.  Lured with the possibility of not having to wear contact lenses and see better, more LASIK surgeries are being performed than ever.

What eye doctors may not informed you is, the reason you can not tolerate contact lenses maybe because you already have dry eyes.  LASIK surgery make your eyes drier due to the trauma on the cornea, and uneven cornea surface.  This friction created from the uneven surface result in inflammation which is making your eyes even drier.

Therefore, before you go for LASIK surgery, make sure that you do not already have dry eyes.  Don't simply rely on your eye doctor's assessment because he wants you to do LASIK surgery.  Have you tear volume measured, and tear viscosity assessed.  You must be able to produce balanced sustainable tears before LASIK surgery.

Here is a personal story -

"I had lasik surgery about 4 years ago.  I was told a few weeks after the surgery that I would have dry eyes for the rest of my life and that I would have to use eyes drops every hour of the day.  I tried virtually every kind of eye drop available on the market. I checked a lasik surgery forum to make myself feel better since there are others with worse problems than mine. However, having dry eyes that are continually limiting one's ability to see comfortably is very difficult.

After one year, when it became clear to me that my eyes had completed healing as much as they could post-Lasik, I started searching the Internet for solutions to dry eyes and found Theralife. The testimonials looked promising but they did not mention helping post- lasik dry eye problems. In desperation, I called Theralife. Angela was very encouraging. I explained that I was one year post-Lasik and that my eyes were still very dry. She said that Theralife Eye should help but that it may take about 3 months for me to get results. I was encouraged that she thought it would help even post-Lasik patients.

I received my first order of Theralife Eye and followed the enclosed instructions. To my pleasant surprise I noticed relief within a week. Two weeks later, it was even better. Theralife Eye, according to their brochure, builds in your system over time and continues to improve your tear quality and tear production over time (2 to 3 months?) I continued to take Theralife Eye and after about 3 months, my eyes felt very comfortable. I have been taking Theralife Eye daily ever since. When I forget once in a while, my eyes still feel okay. I have been taking Theralife Eye for about 3 years now. Thank you so much for making this wonderful product. I am able to live a normal life and have comfortable eyes because of your product.

Night Time Dry Eye Syndrome- Causes & Home Remedies

Night Time Dry Eyes Syndrome, Causes and Tips for Relief

Ever wake up in the morning and your eye lids feel as if they are stuck together?  This type of morning dryness is actually a result of dry eyes at night.  Many who suffer from chronic dry eye experience extreme dry eyes in the morning upon waking up. In some cases, dry eye pain is so severe that it requires frequent use of eye drops during the night, causing disturbed sleep and fatigue the next day.   

What is causing these phenomena?

Some of the causes for night time dry eye include:

• >       Partially open eye lids allowing tears to evaporate  (This can be made worse when you go into REM sleep as the eyelids may flutter causing friction)
• 
  
• -          Lower body temperature and metabolism which delivers less nutrients and blood to the eye.
• 
  
• -          Reduced tear production as a result of a slower metabolism.
• 
  
• -          Allergens in or around your bed that may spark dry eyes such as; sheets, pillows, dust mites, pet fur, etc…
• 
  

• What are some of the remedies for night time dry eye?

• -          TheraLife Eye Enhanced - stimulate tear secretion at night. Take right before bedtime.!
  
• -          Place a humidifier in the bedroom to provide more moisture
  
• -          Avoid sleeping under a heater or air vent
  
• -          Avoid sleeping in the direct path of a fan
  
• -          Use preservative-free nighttime eye gels or ointments that protect the eye
  
• -          Use night time goggles with moisture pads to prevent tear evaporation
  
• o   A good home alternative for this is to take two cotton discs, run them under cool tap water and use surgical or athletic tape and tape them over your eyes at night.  The moisture pads create a barrier that protect your eyes and prevent excessive tear evaporation.  If this improves your night time dryness, consider investing in some night time hydration goggles.

LASIK Dry Eye/Blepharitis Story- How I Got Relief Through TheraLife

LASIK Dry Eye/Blepahritis - How I Got Relief Through TheraLife

It has been known LASIK surgery for vision correction can induce severe dry eyes even after many years.

Blepharitis Cause Dry Eyes - They Must Both Be Treated.  

Blepharitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the conjunctiva or meibomian- this should not be confused with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction where Meibomian Glands may be clogged.

TheraLife Eye relief dry eyes and blepharitis by restoring normal cell functions to tear secretion glands and reduce inflammation to achieve long lasting relief.

Here is a personal story:

"I hesitated to order these pills because of the cost and disappointment with other products. I'm so glad I gave this a try. I had dry eyes before LASIK surgery in 2007 and was still told I was a good candidate. After LASIK, two eye doctors diagnosed me with chronic blepharitis and age-related dry eye syndrome. I was miserable and all I could think of was how dry, red and painful my eyes were ALL THE TIME! I was on prescription eye drops that is suppose to reduce inflammation and on an antibiotic drop called Azasite. Both are very expensive. I started with the recommended four capsules of Theralife Enhanced twice a day. I had a lot of intestinal gas for a few days, and still have some, but taking the pills after meals and reducing the dosage to two twice a day after my symptoms were gone really helps. I still can't believe I have such total relief and I am so grateful for Theralife Enhanced. I very rarely use the lubricating eye drops I relied on before."

Why Does Menopause Cause Dry Eyes?

 Hormonal changes and dry eyes- Menopause

Menopause and Dry Eyes-Hormone Changes, Inflammation and More!

There are many causes of dry eyes.  However, hormones changes are one of the biggest cause of dry eyes in women over 50.  Here is why:

Hormone Receptors found on on Cornea-

The degree to which your hormones affect your eye health depends largely on your individual blueprint and lifestyle. However, studies have linked androgen (testosterone) and estrogen receptors on the cornea of the eye and on the meibomian gland. This indicates a correlation between the production of tears and our sex hormones.

Dry Eye and “Inflammation”.

When your eyes stay dry for too long, the result is localized inflammation. This immune response releases all kinds of inflammatory substances which make your eyes red, itchy, and swollen. The appearance of dry eyes often coincides with other signs of “drying” in menopause, like sore joints and dry vaginal tissues. Restoring a natural internal balance between estrogen, progesterone and testosterone is an important remedy for dry eyes. Though this is something we rarely hear about in a conventional eye doctor’s office, or other imbalances that may be contributing to the condition..
symptoms of dry eye can be an important warning sign that your body’s detox capabilities are on overload. And what happens when you aren’t detoxifying efficiently?. While no clinically controlled study as of yet has linked the localized inflammation of dry eye to systemic low-grade inflammation
Moreover, the inflammation connection is being supported by the growing trend among conventional eye doctors to add omega-3 supplements or fish oil to their standard dry eye treatment protocol. A recent study reported that women with a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids reduced their risk of dry eye by 20% compared to women with low levels of omega–3.

Omega 3 Fish Oil and Inflammation-

Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids( Fish Oil) in supplements or by eating fish like mackerel, tuna, or wild salmon or certain nuts and seeds — does several things that benefit the eye by benefiting your entire body. For one, they have been shown to naturally moderate inflammation. They also aid in the stimulation of tear secretion and increase the oils in that secretion. Additionally, they may moderate excess estrogen production. And all of these benefits get at the root of dry eyes by providing natural lubrication rather than temporary “artificial” relief.

Conventional dry eye treatments and “artificial tears”

The most common conventional treatment for dry eye is drops or “artificial tears” that temporarily relieve symptoms by restoring fluid to the eye. These drops can be invaluable in the short term for many people with dry eyes by making it comfortable to blink. The unfortunate side of drops, though, is that they offer only temporary relief of dry eye symptoms, not a systemic response that helps prevent recurrences.

If your symptoms of dry eye are really bothering you, it’s worth finding some soothing drops to use while you pursue other long-term approaches that may take more time to kick in. The ingredients and viscosity of drops vary a lot, so you may need to try a few; be sure to ask your practitioner for samples. When buying, remember that preservatives irritate some eyes, and drops designed to “get the red out” are not designed for dry eyes.

Using drops is like pouring water into a dry well instead of looking for a new spring — to find permanent relief.  Theralife Can Help- See Below

Relief for dry eyes:  Nutrition and Restore Hormone Balance

Every body is unique so you may need to experiment to find a combination of changes that work for you.  Supplemental essential fatty acids, in addition to a highly nutritious diet, are helpful for women of all ages with dry eyes.

A. Optimize your nutrition. Eat three balanced meals a day, consisting of:
1.   whole foods
2.    daily multivitamin.
3.  Omega 3 fatty acid  - be sure it is free of Mercury and PCB contamination- e.g TheraLife Omega 3 Fish Oil - molecularly distilled for purity.
4.   Vit E- which helps Omega 3 functionality

B. Balance your hormones.

Gentle endocrine support can help the body generate its natural levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. You may also notices that some simple dietary changes, like eating more whole grains and less sugar and processed foods can help control insulin levels and reduce chronic inflammation.

C.  Evaluate your medications. If you are on medication, speak with your doctor about the possibility of it contributing to your dry eyes. There may be alternatives that cause fewer side effects.

D.  Avoid excessive pollution and other irritants. – Quit Smoking
Here’s another great reason to quit smoking: smoke aggravates dry eyes. Also, try to avoid rubbing your eyes since it can disturb tear film, remove moisture, and introduce bacteria or irritants into the eye. Try to buy hypoallergenic make-up as well.

E.  Hydrate and humidify.  6-8 glasses of water or fluids per day. Use Humidifier
Dehydration can draw fluid from the eyes, so remember to drink plenty of fluids. Non-diuretic drinks like water, pure juices, milk and herbal teas are good choices for hydration. You may also try using a humidifier to reduce tear evaporation, but be sure to clean it daily with soap to avoid introducing more irritants into the air.

F.  Blink!

Try to blink at least every five seconds or so, particularly when looking at your computer screen. It may also be helpful to lower your computer monitor a bit so your eyelids cover more of your eyeballs while you look at it.

G.  Practice care with contact lenses.

Contacts can sap the eye’s fluid and collect proteins, irritating eyes further with roughness and an environment conducive to growing bacteria. Keep lenses very clean, consider wearing them less, or explore lenses designed for dry eyes. Not all drops can be used with contacts, so check the labels. TheraTears makes a product specifically designed for contact wearers with dry eyes.

H.  Get more sleep!

Last but definitely not least: enjoy the anti-inflammatory benefits of regular sleep! Beyond giving your eyes a chance to rest and refresh, good quality sleep reduces stress that can contribute to hormonal imbalances. Our bodies detoxify and attend to much needed cellular repair while we sleep, which helps soothe inflammation in all systems.
