Risk Factors for Developing Dry Eye Syndrome

 

Risk Factor for the Developing Dry Eye Syndrome

We all know the discomfort and often how life changing chronic dry eye syndromes can be.
You tried everything, drops, punctal plugs, prescription eye drops, nothing seems to help.  Let's see if you have these risk factors that causes dry eyes. 

1. Women in maturity:

Menopause women who receive hormone replacement therapy are at higher risk. Post menopausal women who use hormone replacement, especially estrogen, have a higher prevalence of dry eye syndrome compared with those who have never used hormone replacement therapy. In general both menopausal and post menopausal women tend to have dry eye symptoms; this is because hormone balance is important in tear production.

2. Arthritis and smoking

3. Medications -

Medications such as diuretics (to lower high blood pressure) , antidepressants, antihistamines, anticholinergics, and systemic retinoids like Accutane can increase the risk of developing dry eye syndrome

4. Environmental factors,

Such as reduced humidity and increased wind, drafts, air conditioning, or heating may worsen the ocular discomfort of patients with dry eye. Exogenous irritants and allergens, although not believed to be causative of dry eye, can certainly increase the symptoms of dry eyes in people, as can extended visual tasking during computer use, television watching, and prolonged reading.

5. LASIK or PRK Surgery:

Following refractive surgery such as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), patients for several months may experience significant dry eye due to the severing of the corneal nerves during surgery.

6. Systemic Diseases: 

Sjogrens, Blepharitis, Lymphoma, Viral Infections, AIDS …

Dry eye-associated systemic diseases include Sjögren's syndrome, where inflammation of the lacrimal gland leads to tear-production deficiency, and rosacea, which is associated with posterior blepharitis with increased tear evaporation. Aqueous tear deficiency may develop in systemic pathologies such as lymphoma, sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis, and amyloidosis. Dry eye may likewise develop in patients with systemic viral infections and AIDS. Lacrimal gland swelling, dry eye, and Sjögren’s syndrome have been associated with Epstein-Barr virus infections¹⁵ and decreased tear production, reduced tear volume, and reduced tear lactoferrin concentrations have been seen in patients with hepatitis C. Neuromuscular disorders that affect the patient’s blink (e.g., Parkinson disease, Bell palsy) can lead to dry eye syndrome as can localized findings such as eyelid malposition, lagophthalmos, and blepharitis.

7. Cancer Treatments

Radiation, Transplantation, localized trauma, including orbital surgery, radiation, and injury, may also cause dry eye.
You can see from all the research into the risk factors of dry eye disease that we need to go beyond just dispensing some artificial tear to people with dry eyes.  Lifestyle can have a major impact in  underlying issues our patients may have. It is the first step to insure success in DED treatment.

New Treatment for Sjogren's Disease and Dry Eyes

New Treatment for Sjogren's Disease and Dry Eyes

Sjogren's Syndrome and Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome- Causes, Symptoms and Treatments

Sjogren’s syndrome is a particular form of autoimmune disease where one’s body defense mechanism (immune system) attacks one’s own tissue or organs.  In the case of Sjogren’s syndrome, it attaches the organs that produce moisture (mucous membranes).  The most common symptoms are dry eye and dry mouth.  It can also affect other organs such as throat, lungs, kidney, liver, pancreas, central nervous system, gastrointestinal systems, joints, and blood vessels. 

Other autoimmune diseases can also result in chronic dry eye including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Grave’s Disease, Chrone’s Disease, and Fibromyalgia.  Diagnosis for Sjorgren’s syndrome can be difficult due to similarities of disease symptoms.

Dry Eyes Challenges in Sjogren's Disease

For many, Sjogren’s syndrome related dry eye often results in eye ulcers, corneal abrasion, extreme fatigue and a great deal of pain.  Some people with Sjögren's syndrome also have other autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, vasculitis, mixed connective tissue disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and chronic autoimmune hepatitis..  It is a debilitating disease for as many as 4 million Americans.  Most Sjorgren’s patients are women.

Conventional Treatment for Sjogren's

Conventional therapy for Sjorgren’s chronic dry eye often includes eye drops – which make dry eye worse.  Prescription drugs often include steroids which cannot be used continuously over long periods of time due to its toxic effects to liver and kidney.  

How TheraLife Autoimmune Formula Works

TheraLife Autoimmune Formula is a natural way to provide relief for both chronic dry eye and Sjorgren’s Syndrome.  It works by:

1. Intracellular stimulation of tear glands (mybomian, lacrimal) to promote one’s glands to secret its own tears naturally and overcome issues with poor micro-circulation and membrane permeability. This is the key factor in Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome.

2.  Natural ingredients that act as an immune suppressant (immune modulator)

3.  Improve performance, endurance and energy levels.

4. No side effects of prescription drugs

5. Provides continuous daily support.

Dry Eyes and LASIK - Causes, Symptoms and Treatments

Lasik Dry Eyes- Causes, Symptoms and Treatments

LASIK Dry Eyes

Does this story sound familiar?  You finally decide to get LASIK so that you don’t have to wear contact lenses or glasses.  You are so excited to see the great results only to find out that once the procedure is finished, you have developed a pretty bad case of dry eyes.  Your doctor gave you over the counter eye drops and prescription eye drops to reduce inflammation.  You may have tried punctal plugs to back up tears, used thick gels at night to prevent tear evaporation and warm compresses to stimulate eye production. You might have even tried eye vitamins that are suppose to thicken your tears.  Nothing has helped!  Your eyes are still dry, irritated, red, tired and it is affecting your work.  What to do?

TheraLife® Dry Eye Enhanced can Help!  Read on! 

Dry eyes are the most often reported complication of LASIK and other refractive surgery procedures. For most refractive surgery patients, their dry eye conditions are not significant enough or long enough to cause much difficulty. Unfortunately, some LASIK patients develop long-term dry eye conditions that are very debilitating.

Why does LASIK surgery cause dry eyes? During the LASIK procedure, corneal nerve tissue and tear gland cells may be damaged. This is normal and expected during LASIK. However, this damage and interruption of nerve impulses to the tear glands can cause dry eye conditions.

Why TheraLife Dry Eye Enhanced?

TheraLife® Dry Eye Enhanced Formula works by intra-cellular stimulation of  tear glands to secrete sustainable tears naturally.  The benefits of TheraLife® Dry Eye Enhanced are:

• Accelerates and aids healing of damaged corneal nerves and tissue
• Strong anti-inflammatory agents to reduce swelling and dry eye discomfort
• Stimulates tear glands to produce balanced natural tears

The use of TheraLife® Dry Eye Enhanced Formula ® increases normal tear production and provides continuous support after LASIK surgery to promote tissue repair and helps restore normal tear film to ensure a successful outcome.

With the success of TheraLife® Eye, many doctors are now recommending TheraLife Eye Enhanced for post LASIK dry eye relief.

Dry Eye Relief When Drops Don't Work

Dry Eye Relief When Drops Don't Work

Eye Drops are Not Enough - Risk Factors for Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome. What you have to lose when not treated.

There are numerous risk factors for dry eye syndrome:  include but not limited to:

1.      Women in menopause

Menopause women who receive hormone replacement therapy are at higher risk.  Postmenopausal women who use hormone replacement therapy, especially estrogen, have a higher prevalence of dry eye syndrome compared with those who have never used hormone replacement therapy.  In clinical experience, both menopausal and postmenopausal women tend to have dry eye symptoms; this can be attributed to the significant decrease of tear production around the sixth decade of life in women.⁴  Similarly, it has been noted that women with primary ovarian failure develop clinically significant dry eye syndrome.
 

3.      Medications - 

Medications such as diuretics (to lower high blood pressure) , antidepressants, antihistamines, anticholinergics, and systemic retinoids like Accutane can increase the risk of developing dry eye syndrome.
 

4.      Environmental factors,

Such as reduced humidity and increased wind, drafts, air conditioning, or heating may worsen the ocular discomfort of patients with dry eye.  Exogenous irritants and allergens, although not believed to be causative of dry eye, can certainly increase the symptoms of dry eye syndrome in patients, as can extended visual tasking during computer use, television watching, and prolonged reading.
 

5.      LASIK or PRK Surgery:

Following refractive surgery such as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), patients for several months may experience significant dry eye due to the severing of the corneal nerves during surgery.

6.      Systemic Diseases:  Sjogrens, Blepharitis, Lymphoma, Viral Infections, AIDS …

Dry eye-associated systemic diseases include Sjögren's syndrome, where inflammation of the lacrimal gland leads to tear-production deficiency, and rosacea, which is associated with posterior blepharitis with increased tear evaporation.  Aqueous tear deficiency may develop in systemic pathologies such as lymphoma, sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis, and amyloidosis. Dry eye may likewise develop in patients with systemic viral infections and AIDS.  Lacrimal gland swelling, dry eye, and Sjögren’s syndrome have been associated with Epstein-Barr virus infections and decreased tear production, reduced tear volume, and reduced tear lactoferrin concentrations have been seen in patients with hepatitis C. Neuromuscular disorders that affect the patient’s blink (e.g., Parkinson disease, Bell palsy) can lead to dry eye syndrome as can localized findings such as eyelid malposition, lagophthalmos, and blepharitis.  

7.      Cancer Treatments

Radiation, Transplantation, Localized trauma, including orbital surgery, radiation, and injury, may also cause dry eye.

You can see from all the research into the risk factors of DED that we need to go beyond just dispensing some artificial tear to our DED patients.  We need to look into the lifestyle of our patients to insure we address the underlying issues our patients may have.  It is the first step to insure success in DED treatment.

How to Relief Contact Lens Dry Eyes

How To Relief Contact Lens Dry Eyes

Why people like contact lenses?

Contact lenses can provide convenience over eyeglasses for people who are active in sports, look better, and just being cool.

However, wearing contact lenses can cause Dry Eye Syndrome. Some people have worn contact lenses for years and developed dry eyes.  Some have a pre-existing dry eye condition who should never have been prescribed contact lenses.

Contact lens dry eye are due to:

• Contact lens provide a surface for tear evaporation
• Eyes not secreting enough tears
• Tear quality is poor – not thick enough which increase the rate of evaporation.

There are 2 types of contact lenses: Soft and Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses

A. Dry Eyes in Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are made from plastics that like water, Sometimes they contain water. In fact, the more water a soft contact lens contains, the more prone it is to losing its water. Therefore, as water evaporates from the front surface of the lens, it absorbs water from your own natural tears, causing you to have dry eye symptoms. Your eyes may feel dry, irritated, tired, red, sandy gritty feeling. Vision often becomes blurry, and sometimes pain.

Most people at this point reaches for artificial tears, or wash their contact lenses several times a day to get rid of the debris (mucous) that forms on the inside of the contact lenses. For some people, using  artificial tears become a routine procedure, sometimes as often as once an hour. But the eyes still feel dry. Soon this condition worsens and wearing contact lenses become unbearable.
Environmental factors may also cause dry eyes such as dry heat from a furnace; an air vent from air conditioner,  near smokers, and wind from being outdoors. However, for long term contact lens wearers, there is another reason for developing dry eyes. The continual rubbing of the lens across the surface of the cornea causing sloughing off of the microscopic hairlike structures that exist on the outermost layer of the cornea to assist in keeping the tear film stable.  Many years of gently chaffing these fine structures can result in poor tear film stability resulting in Dry Eyes.

B. Dry Eye and Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses

Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses usually gives the user more visual acuity. (see sharper images). Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses are manufactured from polymeric materials that are hydrophobic (do not contain any water all). In addition, it tends to repel tear film which is water based. The challenge of Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses is to specially formulate them to enhance their wetting characteristics so that they are compatible with the tear film. Even with these formulations, their surfaces are more prone to drying and creating dry eye symptoms. The problem of mechanically chaffing the fine structures that attract the tear film and make it stable is even greater with Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses because of the stiffness of the lens…it is rigid.

Suggestions to improve Dry Eyes

There are simple things we can do to facilitate the relief of Dry Eyes such as:

• sit away from an air vent
• drink at least 8 glasses of water per day
• exercise
• wear wrap around sun glasses while outdoors
• avoid draft and wind
• go to an eye physician to select a contact lens material that may be more suitable.Doctors sometimes put in a punctal plug in the tear ducts in order to retain more tears. Artificial tears do help temporarily.Prolonged use of artificial tears train the eyes to secret even less tears and the Dry Eye condition worsens.

How to prevent dry eyes from aging?

How To Prevent Dry Eyes from Aging?

Dry eyes are one of the most common problems among seniors as they age. With age, our eyes and body are undergoing a variety of changes. Decreased cardiac function results in decreased micro-circulation which leads to poor supply of blood and nutrients to the eye. If dry eye is left untreated, the cornea can develop ulcers as well as other severe eye problems.

Causes of Aging Dry Eyes

As we age, our body produces fewer tears. Dry eyes are a very common complaint among older adults. Here are a few of the different causes that influence our dry eyes:

• Watery Eyes- Ironically, dry eyes can cause watery eyes because the body senses the amount of fewer tears which triggers the brain to produce reflex tears (excessive watery tearing). This excessive tearing however does not lubricate your eyes it only makes the problem worse.
• Menopause- Hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness, mood swings, fatigue, headaches are all associated with menopause. However, more than 60% of women experiencing these symptoms also experience dry eyes. Women at this stage are also vulnerable in developing autoimmune diseases like Sjogren’s syndrome; Rheumatoid Arthritis (see section under TheraLife Eye Enhanced – Autoimmune Dry Eyes.)
• Tear Production- As we age, our eyes naturally slow down the tear production process. Tears are a major protective agent for the eyes. Tears not only wash away dust from our eyes, but also soothe our eyes, provide oxygen and nutrients to the cornea, as well as help defend against eye infections by removing microorganisms that can form communities in our eyes.
• Medications- Medications can cause dry eye. This includes some medications, antidepressants, antihistamines, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills, and pain relievers. Natural therapy sometimes tends to be a more balanced approach to aging diseases.
• Caffeine in foods- Coffee, tea, sodas and chocolates are some of our everyday indulgences that contain caffeine. Caffeine causes blood vessels to constrict which results in decreased circulation, cause insomnia, and a variety of health issues. Try avoiding these foods and drinks if possible as caffeine is known to dehydrate the body.

• Computer use- Internet allows us to connect with the outside world. Sitting in front of the computer for extended periods of time can significantly dry your eyes out. Remember to blink more often.

Prevention Measures as You Age

We strongly recommend the following things you can do to help prevent and relieve the severe symptoms of Dry Eye, regardless of your age. Here are a few examples:

• Drink Water- At least 8 glasses a day. Water is a great source to keep your body hydrated, especially if you live in dry, hot or cold climates.
• Humidifiers- Either in your central heating system or individual rooms inside your home can bring moisture into the air, especially if you live in a dry location, or during winter when there is less moisture in the air.
• Natural Supplements- Omega-3’s (especially fish oil) and Omega 6’s is a great way to help you thicken your tears and decrease your dry eye symptoms. For women, adding Primrose Oil to Fish Oil can also help with hormone balance.

Tear Secretion Glands, Tear Composition and Eye Structure:untreated can lead to cornea damage and blindnes.

Tear composition is very complex. It has been analyzed to contain over 300 components. All key components, mucin, lipids, proteins, and fluids must be balanced and sustainable in order to provide eye protection and comfort. Deficiencies in any of the components will produce poor quality tears that evaporate too rapidly and cause dry eyes. Severe dry eye conditions.

How Severe is your dry eye?
Tests that your doctor will do to determine the extent of your dry eye include but not limited to measuring tear volume, tear viscosity, fluorescent staining and examination. Knowing the values of tear volume and tear viscosity in particular help determine the extent and severity of your dry eye conditions.
What are the treatments for dry eye?
Typical treatments for dry eyes include eye drops, punctal plugs, cauterization of tear ducks, prescription eye drops, and nutritional supplements consists of high doses of omega 3, vitamins, and oils. Each approach has its advantages and drawbacks. The most common being frequent us of eye drops which wash away the mucin, lipids and proteins that protect the eye, making dry eye worse. High doses of oily supplement provide thickness to the tear but do not address the lack of tear volume.
New Approach to Dry Eye Relief:
What we need is an approach to stimulate and restores tear glands to secrete balanced, sustainable quality tears systemically. New research has shown that a blend of specific herbs, vitamins, and minerals can stimulate mitocondrial DNA synthesis in tear secretion glands and restore normal cellular functions to relief dry eye. More details of this research will be discussed during the presentation.
How can TheraLife Eye Help?

TheraLife® Eye Enhanced functions by increasing intracellular metabolism (Mito-Activation), membrane permeability and blood micro circulation. This enables the Eye Enhanced to stimulate the all the tear glands (meibomian, lacrimal and goblet cells) to secret its own tears naturally as well as overcome issues with poor micro-circulation and membrane permeability. Taking TheraLife Eye Enhanced capsules before bedtime can often relieve night time dry eye symptoms.

Powerful Watering Eyes Relief by TheraLife- My Story

Watering Eyes Relief by TheraLife- 

Why do eyes water when you have dry eyes?
More than 50% of watering eyes is due to dry eyes.  Reason is- when eyes are dry and not getting relief for a long time.  Brain started to cry to help provide moisture.  This type of Reflux tear is very poor in quality, which washes away your natural lubricants your eyes produce to thicken tears.  The more you cry, the drier your eyes are.  Just like frequent use of artificial tears.

I was getting very frustrated until I found TheraLife.  Here is my story.

Watery, Sandy Gritty, Itchy, Red  Dry Eye Relieved by TheraLife Eye- Australia

I can only say it was a stoke of good fortune to be told about your product. Finally I can live each day without itchy, red, watery eyes. I know when I need more as my right eye starts to feel uncomfortable, as if there is grit in it or I don't focus as well. But as soon as I up my Theralife Eye capsules, (mostly 2  tablets/day) the discomfort dissipates and I'm fine.

I actually first bought Theralife to aid my dog and her dry eyes.  It was only when a friend was visiting and I complained how my eyes were always watering, itchy and I was rubbing them so often.  She told me I had dry eyes which seemed strange because my eyes are watery.   So I thought I would take the Theralife Eye capsules which I was using for my dog and wow...what a difference.  Now these capsules  are a permanent part of my day and I am so grateful.

Some days I have to increase my TheraLife Eye dosage because I am a constant traveler,  or when the weather gets hotter and drier which it does here in Victoria, Australia.  But it only takes a couple of days of double dosage to get relief then I return to 2 capsules/ day to maintain the good health of my eyes.  I do find I can take 1 capsule at a time with food otherwise they can make me feel a little nauseous.   But that is not a problem and well worth it.

Once again, my sincere thanks to you all and also for your emails keeping me up to date with all the information and also the support.

May 2011 be a wonderfully successful year for you all.

Kindest regards,

K.M. Victoria, Australia
