Simple Tips for Night Time Dry Eye Treatment
Theralife
Eye Capsules right before bed time
Night time dry eyes can be due to several factors.
1 Lower metabolism-during sleep, body less able
to deliver blood and nutrients to the eye.
Take 4 capsules of TheraLife Eye right before bed to aid delivery and
relief dry eyes.
2. Eye lids
partially open. You might not be aware
that your eye lids are partially open during sleep allowing tear to evaporate
easily. Solution to wear eye mask to
keep your eye lids closed.
- EYE LUBRICATION (e.g. tears, gels,
etc): This
is often recommended by eye doctors. Night time lubrication has its
limits as well as its pitfalls. Viscous (thick) products, products with petrolatum and mineral
oil should be used at night are frequently recommended by doctors. Many
experts question the frequent use of ointments and whether it's good for
you. Long-term use of ointments for night protection. We believe
using physical protection such as eye mask maybe a better choice than
thick eye gels.
-
PHYSICAL PROTECTION (e.g. sleep
masks or taping): This is
something relatively few people think of on their own but it can make an
enormous difference in protecting vulernable, dry eyes against severe
dryness, erosions and abrasions at night.
-
- Simply
covering your eyes effectively to reduce tear evaporation and keep in
moisture. One reason this is so effective is that for many people,
aggravated night symptoms may be related to an underdiagnosed condition
called lagophthalmos,
where the lids do not fully close; however, even people who know their
eyelids seal usually get a benefit from a barrier. Eye protection can be
as simple as a soft eye mask (like the type you can get for $2-3 at a
drugstore to keep light out when you're napping), or a thicker more
effective sleep mask like the ones in the dry eye shop. Whatever you
choose to use, try to keep your eyes covered at least part of the night.
Don't forget to keep it clean and dry: daily washing is paramount, especially
for moisture inserts.
HEAT, A/C, CEILING FANS (i.e. OFF): Heat and Air Conditioning
dry out the air in the bedroom and aggravate overnight symptoms. The
less you use of either at night, the better. Please also consider
airflow. Keep the ceiling fan off if possible as the increased airflow
will contribute to more evaporation too. During seasons, or in climates,
where heavy use of heat or Air Conditioners is necessary, use of a
humidifier and eye protection becomes even more important.
-
HUMIDIFICATION
(i.e. ON): A humidifier in the
bedroom is helpful for many chronic dry eye patients. It's also very
important to keep your humidifier as clean as possible, otherwise it may
contribute to the problem rather than help solve it.
HEAT TREATMENT
(i.e. DO IT):
Just before bed is an excellent time to do your treatments for Meibomian gland dysfunction (failure of the oil glands in the
eyelids to secrete enough oil to prevent rapid tear evaporation). Warm compresses, especially
the gel or rice baggy method, often result in excess oil secretions that
blur vision for awhile, so bedtime can be a practical time for them, and
some people find that compresses just before bed help reduce their
overnight symptoms.

In Summary
|
Under normal
circumstances, here's our recommended routine for Night Time Dry Eyes. :
- Fans off, and
heat or A/C at a minimum. Hot or cold air blowing around
is lethal to vulnerable corneas.
- Gel Compress or Rice Baggy :
microwave it to a comfortable for 20-30 seconds, (not too hot as there
is always danger of burning, even when you're experienced - just warm
enough that it will stay that way for awhile) and bring it tobed.. I put
it on the eyes for at least ten minutes - often leave it on till it
cools - occasionally fall asleep and wake up in the middle of the night
with it still on!
- TheraLife
Eye Capsules 4 capsules before bedtime to
encourage tear production.
- Mask or goggle: If you have
one of those night time goggle with moisture pads, use it. Otherwise, use a sleep mask instead.
- Unisol, Dwelle
or NutraTear first
thing in the morning
depending what your eyes feel like. Use some Unisol to get things
loosened up before putting in sclera lenses on ( this is a
bandage contact lens for those with cornea abrasions). Note, if your
blepharitis is
under control, and TheraLIfe Eye capsule is working for you to
produce
tears, you shouldn’t have to do this step.
- Avenova iLid Cleanser- clean
your eye lids before or after the shower. Once your Blepharitis is under
control, use iLid Cleanser once a day only at night.
