Treatment of dry eye syndrome is better not to delay

No day without a computer, phone, TV, air conditioning and other benefits of civilization. Yes, all this creates a comfortable environment for life, but here's a healthier person does not become from them. Every day, more and more tired eyes, there is burning, the sensation of a foreign body. This is how the dry eye syndrome manifests itself. There is an irresistible desire to blink - and unpleasant sensations recede slightly, as the eye receives the necessary lubrication. Treatment of dry eye syndrome is just the purpose of moistening the eye.

How does the problem occur?

If earlier it was basically an age-related problem - the body has been producing greasy lubrication with age in years, but now it seems that everything has changed to the exact opposite. Already mentioned computer and other office equipment, air conditioning in each office and almost every house, plus all - bad ecology, gas contaminated air and dust of the streets - all this literally dries the tear film, which maintains the cornea and conjunctiva in a moistened state. It is not only a natural lubricant for the eye, but also protection against the smallest particles of dust and dirt, suspended in the air. Lack of protection is dry eye syndrome.

Treatment: preparations for moistening the cornea

This is already a trend: when the problem arises in everyone in a row, all become specialists in its solution. Their self-confidence is fueled by a massive advertising attack: the producer promises a 100% result, the remedy is released without a prescription. And even in such a delicate and delicate sphere as eye diseases, self-medication is permitted and even welcomed. What is there to say about the usual dry eye syndrome - drops are sold at every step, they are universal and absolutely harmless. Is it so? Probably, it is worthwhile to understand the simple truth: everyone has their eyes, so treatment must be individual, strictly according to the prescription of the ophthalmologist. To begin with at least that the diagnosis is carried out and the treatment of dry eye syndrome is prescribed. The ophthalmologist measures the rate of tear film formation and the rate of its drying by means of special drops. They change color in different ways, according to the parameters of a particular patient. Based on these data, the doctor prescribes a comprehensive treatment, including certain eye drops, vitamins and special gymnastics for the eyes. Now good remedies have been developed that help to quickly moisten the cornea. Doctors often prescribe drops "Natural tear" and vitamins "Lutein complex." Many keep on hand eye drops that quickly remove redness. True, not everyone knows that the effect is achieved by instantaneous narrowing of the blood vessels, and this is not treatment at all. Dry eye syndrome such an "ambulance" does not eliminate.

General recommendations

In addition to consulting an ophthalmologist, in case of problems with the eyes, a number of not so complex rules should be observed. Treatment of dry eye syndrome will not work if you do not worry about yourself a little more than usual. For example, it's time to understand that it's not just advised when working on a computer every 15-20 minutes to take your eyes off the monitor, if possible, get up and walk around the room, look out the window. By the way, at the window you can do a very useful exercise for the muscles of the eye. On the glass you need to stick - just moisten with water and stick - a paper circle of green color with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm. To stand in front of it at a distance of 30-35 cm - started! Look at the circle - look into the distance, in perspective, at any chosen object in the distance. Such "jumps" with the eyes within three minutes perfectly train the eyes, restore the blood supply to the eyeball.

A couple more tips. Drinking plenty of water is necessary for the whole body, and the eyes are no exception. In the evenings, let your eyes rest: do not look at the TV screen, and lie down in a relaxed state, putting on your eyes cotton balls, soaked in tea brew, in a decoction of chamomile or parsley. In a word - take care of your eyes, no one will do it for you.
