Seven Tips for Eye Health - Dry Eye Relief

7 Tips for Eye Health - Dry Eye Relief

Get your eyes dilated

An exam that includes eye dilation is the only way to detect many common diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration in their early stages.
- 

Wear sunglasses

We typically remember to shield our skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays, but shielding our eyes is just as important. When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation.

- 

Rest your eyes

If you spend a lot of time at the computer, it's important to rest your eyes to prevent eye strain. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. 

- 

Clean your hands and your contact lenses

To avoid the risk of infection, always wash your hands thoroughly before putting in or taking out your contact lenses. Make sure to disinfect contact lenses as instructed and replace them as directed.

- 

Stop smoking

You probably haven't thought about cigarette smoke and how it affects eye health. But smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is for the rest of your body. Research has linked smoking to an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, cataracts and optic nerve damage, all of which can lead to blindness.

- 

Keep your weight down

Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing diabetes and other systemic conditions, which can lead to vision loss, such as diabetic eye disease or glaucoma. 

Know your family's eye medical history

It’s important to know if anyone in your family has been diagnosed with an eye disease or condition since many are hereditary.

Do Eye Drops Really Work for Dry Eye Relief?

Do Eye Drops Really Work for Dry Eye Relief?

Eye drops are every where, in the drug stores, eye doctor's offices and more.  Treating dry eyes from the surface is also how the eye doctors are trained.  There are many different options, and their differences speak to the diversity of reasons one may be experiencing ‘dry eye’ in the first place.  Consequently, some seem more “effective” than others.

When the surface of the eye lacks moisture and lubrication due to a shortage of tears, we experience it as dryness and irritation, sometimes accompanied by redness and itching.  Ironically, watery eyes, triggered by an overproduction of the watery part of your tears to protect the eye, can also be a symptom of dry eye.  Finding the best remedy depends on unlocking the reasons and conditions of one’s own dry eye – the underlying causes.   

     

What’s Causing Dry Eye? 

Let’s start with that life nourishing fluid - our tears.  In addition to embarrassing us in sappy movies and connecting us to the well of human empathy, tears also clean and moisturize our eyes while providing them with enzymes that neutralize their indwelling microorganisms.  While generally most dry eye is a factor of either the lacrimal gland under producing tears or the meibomian gland reducing[L1]  oil output ( or clogging)  which then leads to over-evaporation of tears, what loosens or tightens the faucet, so to speak, varies greatly.  It can be a result of menopause,LASIK surgery,  a[L2]  side effect of medications, or a product of living in a dry, dusty, polluted, or windy city, such as Las Vegas or Tucson.  It can be an alarming indicator of Sjogren’s Syndrome lupus[L3] , rheumatoid arthritis, or ocular rosacea if occurring alongside other issues.  As if that wasn’t daunting enough diagnostically, dry eye is also linked to long hours at the computer, extended contact lens wear, smoking, and seasonal allergies.  It could be a combination of things, as well.  If you find yourself in a rare spell of dry eye, some over the counter drops may be just what the doctor ordered; however, if it is a chronic issue, it may require some deeper investigation, or lifestyle changes, such as installing an air filter or taking more breaks from the electronic devices.

Types of eye drops. 

“Artificial tears,” which are the most common eye drops, come in two varieties – with and without preservatives.  If you are struggling with a more severe case of dry eye and using them multiple times a day, it is recommended that you use those with fewer additives.  Some artificial tears will also include electrolytes to help balance the tear composition for the surface of the eye, and your ophthalmologist or optometrist may prescribe eye drops which tackle inflammation.

Do be aware, when contemplating your options, that many eye drops that focus their pitch on “reducing redness” are not as helpful in providing moisture.  Though they may be a good solution if you have a big meeting to appear presentable for, your eyes can acquire a tolerance to the eye-whitening vasoconstrictors in these red-eye fixes which can lead to more redness in the long term.  If you wear contact lenses, make sure to remove them before using the eye drops and wait 15-20 minutes before putting them on again.  

In general, eye drops make your eyes drier by washing away the natural lubricants your eyes produce.  Use eye drops no more than 3-4 times a day. 

Check with your Ophthalmologist:

If dry eye is a troubling recurrence,  discuss possible causes with your eye doctors.  He or she may recommend nutritional supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids Theralife Eye oral capsules, and more..  The two of you can also plan a long term strategy that identifies and addresses your unique factors.

How I Stopped My Watery Dry Eyes With TheraLife

How I stopped my watery dry eyes with TheraLife

Watery eyes are caused by allergies or dry eyes.  Your eyes are wet yet you have dry eyes.   Let TheraLife help you stop tear over production now. 

What are the causes of watery eyes?

Dry eyes cause irritation, inflammation and pain.  Over time, when the eyes are not getting relief, your brain started to provide moisture through reflux tears - crying.  Reflux tears are of poor quality, too thin and evaporates quickly.  Tear is also washing away all the natural lubricants your eyes produce, making your eyes drier and drier over time.  

Watery eyes is just like frequent use of eye drops, making your eyes drier and drier.

How to treat watery eyes?  

TheraLife Eye capsules is by far the best solution- it is natural, effective and will prevent recurrence when appropriate maintenance dosage is used.

Here is a personal story.  

"I am a 64 years old female engineer. I use computer daily. I had dry eyes for more than 20 years. It had not bothered me too much until last spring. One morning while driving to work, I felt a sudden sharp pain in my right eye. it was like someone stabbed my eye with a knife. Since then my eyes were constantly tearing and burning. I visited four eye doctors. They examined my eyes and concluded that I had severe eye inflammation (Blepharitis) due to dry eye and allergy. They prescribed expensive eye drops like Pataday and eye gels. The medications did not help much, they just gave me a temporary relief of the symptoms. I was afraid of sunlight and had hard time driving even with double sun glasses. It bothered me so much that I considered retiring from my job. 

One day my son called me and told me that his co-worker had similar problem and he claimed Theralife Eye supplement saved his life. My son sent me two bottles of Theralife Eye supplement as Christmas gift. I followed Dr. Yang's instructions and after about a month, I started to feel my own tear film and have more tolerance toward sunlight. The tearing and burning sensation gradually faded away. I consulted with Dr. Yang from time to time. She recommended I take Theralife women's menopausal support formula to ease my dry mouth and heart palpitation problem. She encouraged me to exercise and cut back on caffeine intake. Now I feel energized and happy again, thank you Dr. Yang!

How To Stop Watery Dry Eyes - My Personal Story

How To Stop Watery Dry Eyes - My Personal Story

We often hear- " My Doctor tells me I have dry eyes, yet I have tears running down my cheek.  My eyes are red, they hurt and drops don't help".

Why Dry Eyes Cause Watery Eyes?

Chronic dry eyes result in a lot of inflammation which in turn shuts down tear functions.   Chronic dry eyes can lead to further complications such as Blepharitis ( inflammation of the eye lids), and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).  In fact, chronic dry eyes lead to blepharitis, MGD in a viscious circle making dry eyes unbearable and difficult to manage.  Eye pain is often associated with this condition.  

Over a prolonged period of time, the brain started to help provide moisture by crying.  This crying tear, called Reflux tear is of poor quality - not thick enough for provide dry eye relief.  Over time, reflux tear washes away all the natural lubricants your eyes produce, making your eyes drier and drier.  This is similar to frequent use of eye drops.  

Eye drops are not effective in treating watery dry eyes because more liquid is added to the eye that is already wet. 

Here is a story from one of our customers who was experiencing watery dry eyes due to menopause,k allergies and blepharitis.  Hope this story is helpful for those who are suffering from chronic watery dry eyes.

How To Relief Dry Eyes Through Meditation

How To Relief Dry Eyes Through Meditation

Have you ever wondered by your eyes are drier, hurt more when you are under stress?  Somehow your eyes are better when you go on vacation.

New research shows stress can lead to many health problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and yes, chronic dry eyes.

How Does Stress Cause Dry Eyes?

It has been well documented that stress hormones - Adrenaline, Cortisol and Norepinephrine  can increase your heart rate, increase blood pressure, give you brain fog,  inability to concentrate, and make dry eye symptoms worse.   These stress hormones causes blood vessel constrictions that reduces supply of blood and nutrients to your eyes.

Stress reduction is one of the best dry eye treatment.  Meditation works wonders if you are stressed at home or work.  Try this technique below.

Simple Meditation for Stress and Dry Eye Relief

1. Select a quiet spot, e.g. bathroom at the office, a quiet darkened room in your house.

2. Sit in a comfortable chair with your feet on the ground and put hands in your lap.

3. Close your eyes and start slowly counting your breath to prevent any other thoughts or ideas that come to your mind.  For example, your to do list, what to make for dinner tonight - your racing thoughts  If a thought come to your mind,start counting from one again.  Train yourself to count to 12 without any thoughts interrupting your breathing and counting. 

4. Open your eyes after 10 minutes, you will feel like you just took a nap.

Do this daily until you become proficient at this simple exercise.  It will not only relief your dry eyes, it will help you reduce blood pressure, prevent heart disease.

How To Do Lid Margin Debridement For Clogged Oil Glands in MGD.

How To Do Manual Cleaning of Clogged Oil Glands In MGD.

What is Lid Margin Debridement?      

Lid scraping, also known as lid margin debridement or lid exfoliation, is a relatively recent addition to the treatment paradigm of MGD and dry eye. Its first reference in the peer-reviewed literature as a treatment option for these conditions was in 2013. Its premise is to remove any physical barriers that may interfere with meibum delivery not only to the lid margin, but also to the tear film.

The anterior lid margin, aside from the meibomian gland orifices and lashes, is histologically identical to the cornified epidermis of the skin. It, therefore, naturally accumulates keratin, devitalized cells, and extracellular debris, all of which are capable of obstructing the migration of meibum to the tear film. With age, the Line of Marx (LOM), a linear pattern of staining in the region of the mucocutaneous junction, thickens, heightens, undulates, and often displaces anterior to the meibomian gland orifices. These changes are purported to be secondary to an osmotic gradient within the tear meniscus that alters the cellular morphology over decades. Similar to above, the elevated ridge of cells in this area obstructs meibum migration.

How is Lid Margin Debridement Done?

Full lid margin debridement entails scraping of both the keratinized lid margin (from the mucocutaneous junction to the base of the lashes) and the thickened LOM to facilitate meibum delivery to the tear film. Shown in our instructional video is the former, as the latter is most effective with lissamine green to allow visibility of the LOM. The technique, however, is identical. Korb and Blackie performed this procedure on 16 symptomatic MGD patients and found that symptoms and meibomian gland expressibility were significantly improved one month post treatment compared to 12 untreated controls.

What’s the best part about this procedure? You already have all the tools needed, a spatula, spud, or even a product like a Q-tips Precision Tips Cotton Swab wet with saline. Start lid scraping today and monitor your patients for changes in signs and symptoms.

New Blepharitis Treatment That Works

NEW BLEPHARITIS TREATMENT THAT WORKS

What is Blepharitis?

If you wake up in the morning with crusty sticky build up on your eye lids- you have Blepharitis.

Blepharitis is the inflammation of eye lids- often resulting in bacterial infection and demodex (mites).  85% of people with Blepharitis has chronic dry eyes.  Inflammation from Blepharitis shuts down tear secretion glands and therefore dry eyes.  Vise versa is also true, dry eyes result in inflammation which can cause blepharitis. 

If you have Blepharitis - first thing you do is to stop all eye make up, this is particularly true for mascara.  Make up also help attract bacteria and mites, exacerbation your current condition.

Consequences of Blepharitis

When Blepharitis becomes a chronic condition, eye lashes often fall out, eye lids become swollen, red and irritated.  In severe cases, dry eyes plus blepharitis can lead to cornea damage and blindness.

Blepharitis in almost all the cases also lead to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)- clogging of the oil producing glands on your eye lid.  MGD leads to severe chronic dry eyes- one of the most difficult dry eye conditions to treat. 

Treatments for Blepharitis

The traditional treatment recommended by many eye doctors- use baby shampoo simple do not work.  Baby shampoo has detergents which strips the oils and lubricants that help keep your eye lids healthy.  Bacteria re-adhere and reinfect the eye lids on daily basis. 

The other option is to use antibiotic drops - this does help short term, until bacteria becomes resistant to the antibiotics being prescribed. 

Highly recommended Blepharitis Treatment from TheraLife

1. Avenova iLid Cleanser - safe and effective.
It is not a detergent- the key ingredient occurs naturally in your body for fending off infections.  It works by disrupting the biofilm layer on your eye lids to which bacteria and mites like to anchor. 

2. TheraLife Eye capsules to reduce inflammation, restore normal function to your tear secretion glands and relieve dry eyes with your own balanced natural tears.  Frequent use of eye drops make your eyes drier

3. Hot Compress - twice a day- 10 minutes each time to unclog meibomian glands. 

It is time to recover from Blepharitis.  Life can be normal again.  You can do it!

How To Get Rid Of Watery Dry Eyes

How To Get Rid Of Watery Dry Eyes

Why Watery Dry Eyes

We this question often, my doctor said I have dry eyes, yet I have wet eyes.  Tears running down my cheek, my eyes are red, soar, eye lids puffy.  What is going on?

More than 60% of the watery eyes are caused by dry eye syndrome. 

Reason being, you had dry eyes for a long time, it was not getting relief.  You tried eye drops, eye gels, punctal plugs, your eye doctor even flushed your tear ducts to make sure they are draining properly.  Your eyes are still dry because the crying tears - "Reflux Tears" are of poor quality - washing away all the natural lubricants your eyes produce, making your own tears too thin and evaporates quickly.  This is called "evaporative dry eyes".  This condition is similar to frequent use of eye drops making your eyes drier.

Here is my personal story

"I have had dry eyes for many years and tried all kinds eye drops and treatments from my ophthalmologist with no results.  Last year, I was told I needed eye glasses because my eyes watered so much I could not read the vision chart.  This year, I went for my eye test and I was told my eyes were so much better.  I don’t need eye glasses.  I have been taking TheraLife for only 2 months, and started to have some relief after the first two weeks.  TheraLife is the only solution that helped. .I continue to take TheraLife Eye to keep watery eyes at bay.

S R.  United States"

TheraLife Eye capsules restores tear secretions intra-cellularly resulting in balanced tears to relief dry eye from inside out.  No drops, no artificial.  We highly recommend taking 4000 mg/day of Omega 3 Fish Oil at the same time.  Use hot compress twice a day- 10 minutes each time to open up oil glands, plus eye lid cleanser to eliminate eye lid inflammation.

It takes 3 months to stop tear over production.

What Are The Risk Factors For Dry Eyes

What Are The Risk Factors For Dry Eyes. 

The authors of this study wanted to investigate independent risk factors of dry eye syndrome (DES) in a Chinese population.

This was case-controlled, hospital-based age- and sex-matched population with 789 chronic dry eye patients and 1119 healthy family members – Genetically matched.  .

Dry eye syndrome patients were determined by Ocular Surface Disease questionnaire and both groups received.
  

1. Slit-lamp evaluation,

2. Tear film breakup time- to measure tear viscosity

3. Schirmer test – to measure tear volume. 

4. Corneal fluorescein staining for dry spots – Rose Bangal. 
  
Extensive personal and medical histories were collected and 20 risk factors were found to be associated with Dry Eye Syndrome. 

Risk Factors

1. history of hypertension

2. diabetes,

3. hepatitis C,

4. obstructive sleep apnea,

5. thyroid disease,

6. connective tissue disease,

7. gout,

8. benign prostatic hyperplasia – enlarged prostate.

9.  rosacea - red cheeks and nose.

10. stress disorder

11. depression

12. posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD),

13.hematopoietic stem cell transplantation – bone marrow transplantation for lymphoma.

14. history of receiving head and neck radiation therapy,

15. postmenopausal estrogen therapy

16. antihistamines

17. anti-depressants

18. anxiolytics,-  anti-anxiety medications.

 19. drugs for prostatic hypertrophy

20. Computers, cell phone displays  use of a video display terminal for more than 6 hours per day, and corneal contact lenses.

The use of vitamin supplements and regular consumption of food rich in omega -3 fatty acids were found to be protective against DES. 
  
This large population based study of a Chinese population identified multiple risk factors for DES and may provide important avenues for identifying patients, education and potential intervention, and is consistent with previous reports.

The impact of stress, depression, contact lens wear, and hormone status (Menopause) are significant,

New Research on Dry Eyes & Allergies in Children

New Research on Dry Eyes & Allergies in Children

Allergies and Dry Eye Disease often concur.  Here is a research study that supports this finding.  Tear film instabilities result in evaporative dry eyes.  

Evaluation of the Tear Film Instability in Children with Allergic Diseases

CONTEXT: The presence of dry eye syndrome (DES) in ocular allergic diseases was evaluated in several studies. Despite this, little exists about the tear film instability in atopic children including patients with allergic rhinitis (AR), allergic conjunctivitis (AC) and asthma. This is a study which presents intriguing findings regarding the relationship of tear film instability with clinical aspects in atopic children.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the tear film instability in children with AR, AC and asthma.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and thirty-five consecutive children with AR, AC and asthma as study group and 45 children without any systemic and ocular abnormality as control group were included in the study. Skin prick tests, measurement of tear film breakup time (TFBUT), serum immunoglobulin E and eosinophil counts were performed in all patients. Also four subgroups of patients were designated as AR group (Group I), AC group (Group II), asthma group (Group III) and control group (Group IV).

RESULTS: Socio-demographic characteristics were similar except for family atopy between the groups (p > 0.05). The mean TFBUT was significantly lower in the study group (15.5 ± 4.4 s) than the control group (18.4 ± 2.9 s; p 0.000). Also, there was no significant differences in the percentage of the patients who had TFBUT<10 s (p = 0.066). In logistic regression analysis, atopy was found to be the determinant of lower TFBUT (OR = 16.33, 95%; CI = 1.17 to 228.05, p= 0.03).

CONCLUSION: The presence of tear film instability was higher in children with AC, AR and asthma. This finding should be taken in consideration in atopic children.
