The Doctors Book of Home Remedies II From the Rodale book, The Doctors Book of Home Remedies II: Dry Eyes Dry Eyes Every time you blink, a film of tears spreads over your eyes. For the wet-eyed crowd, that film can turn to an eye bath when you're watching a classic weeper like, say, Old Yeller. But if you suffer from dry eyes, even the tear jerkingest flick can leave your hanky dry. But another thing happens when you have dry eyes: They actually ache. Lacking the ability to cover or coat the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) with a thin, protective coating of tears, your eyes start burning and stinging. At worst, it may feel as though a grain of sand is permanently embedded in your parched peepers. And because of this ongoing problem, your vision may be mildly blurred, or your eyes may become sensitive to light. There are many causes: Medicines such as decongestants, tranquilizers and antihistamines, as well as drugs for high blood pressure, may all cause dry eyes. You can also get dry eyes if you have an allergy to contact lens products. Winter winds, air-conditioning and indoor heating are all potential culprits as well. Chronic cases often result from menopause, rheumatoid arthritis or Sjšgren's syndrome, a gland condition that also causes dry mouth and vaginal dryness. Sometimes dry eyes occur for no apparent reason. But whatever the cause, here are some ways to get your peepers dewy againand to give you a chance to shed a tear the next time you hear a sob story.

Until recently there have been no longitudinal population-based studies that might inform on the likely incidence in a primary care adult population. We now have one [1], and we can say that in people aged 48 to 91 years, 13% will develop dry eye over five years. Study Beaver Dam in Wisconsin is the site of a population based eye study that began in 1988. Almost 6,000 adults were then aged 43 to 84 years, and were examined initially and followed up in the years 1988-1990, 1993-1995 and 1998-2000. Dry eye information was first collected in 1993-1995, when 2,414 people were examined and found not to have dry eye syndrome. At the next examination in 1998-2000 the presence of dry eye, or history of dry eye in the intervening years was established, so that the five-year incidence of dry eye could be established. Dry eye was determined by a positive response to the question: Results Of the 2,414 participants who did not have dry eye at the baseline in 1993-1995, 56% were women, and the age range was 48 to 91 years. Almost every participant was white. During the five years, 322 adults developed dry eye, a five year incidence of 13% and an annual incidence of 2.7%.

Dry eyes I'm having terrible problems with my eyes which are constantly dry, sore and itchy. I thought it was just hayfever to start with, but it seems to have gone on after all the other symptoms have stopped. Should I see my doctor or an optician? Minnie Dr Trisha Macnair responds The system to keep our eyes properly lubricated is astonishingly sophisticated. For example, tears aren't just a simple splash of brine, but a complex system. Every time you blink, you spread across your eye three layers of fluid. First, an oily fluid layer smoothes the surface of the eye and reduces evaporation of fluid. The second watery layer cleans and washes the eye. And a third layer of mucus allows the watery fluid to spread and stick across the eye. Dry eyes develop when there isn't enough tear fluid being made, or the constituents of the fluid are faulty. The result is scratchy, burning or stinging eyes, problems focusing, or the feeling of grit in the eye. Few people actually say that their eye feels 'dry'. Dry eyes are sometimes referred to as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) or xerophthalmia. Causes of dry eye Causes include: Ageing - often people are slow to realise there's a problem because the drainage of fluid from the eye can also slow with age.

French German Italian Portuguese Spanish Powered by SYSTRAN Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) or Dry Eye Description of KCS Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) or "dry eye" describes the changes in the eye which result from lack of tear production. To understand "dry eye" it is helpful to know how tears help keep the cornea healthy. The cornea is the optically clear portion of the eye that allows entry of light into the eye. Like all living tissue, the cornea requires a supply of oxygen and energy to remain healthy. Oxygen and nutrients are supplied to most tissues by the blood that moves through the area in blood vessels. The healthy cornea has no blood vessels, if it did it wouldn't be clear, so the oxygen and nutrients are supplied through the three-layered 'tear film.' The outer most layer of the tear film is an oily layer supplied by glands in the eyelids. This layer helps prevent evaporation of the next aqueous layer. The middle layer is the liquid aqueous layer produced by the main tear gland and a gland in the third eyelid. This is the layer that is decreased in dry eye. The innermost layer in direct contact with the cornea is a mucous layer produced by glands located in the folds of the eyelid. The mucus layer helps the aqueous layer adhere to the surface of the cornea. A breakdown in the tear film and a loss of the aqueous layer causes dry eye. This loss results in dryness to areas of the corneal surface or in more advanced cases, drying to the entire corneal surface. When the cornea is deprived of oxygen and nutrients through the tear film, it rapidly undergoes destructive changes. These changes result in brown pigmentation, scar tissue growth, ulcer development, and blood vessel growth across the cornea leading to partial vision loss.

120. Pets With Diabetes - Petdiabetes.org: Cataracts And Dry Eye Pets With Diabetes Cataracts Diabetic dogs are prone to developing cataracts. Special attention must be given to this problem and a veterinary http://www.petdiabetes.org/cataract.htm

Cataracts and Dry Eye What is a Cataract Signs Treatment ... Take our survey What is a Cataract? The lens of the eye is transparent, allowing light to pass through it and be focused on the retina. A cataract is an opaqueness or cloudiness in the lens that prevents light from reaching the retina. A cataract usually starts out as very small opaque areas, then becomes larger. How rapidly the cataract becomes larger varies greatly depending on many factors including the location of the cataract within the lens, the age of the animal, and the cause of the cataract. The size of the cataract will effect how much vision your pet has. A very serious side effect of uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetes is cataract formation. Diabetes-induced cataract formation is much more common in dogs than in cats. Not all diabetic dogs develop cataracts, but most do. Some dogs form cataracts so quickly that their vision is impaired and that's why the owner takes them to the vet, and then the diabetes is diagnosed. For other dogs, cataracts may form within weeks of diagnosis, or it may take months, or even years for cataracts to develop. If your vet tells you that your pet is developing a cataract, or has cataracts, it is very important that you get a referral to a certified veterinary ophthalmologist and have the specialist examine your pet's eyes. The ophthalmologist has special education, training, and equipment that will allow him or her to give your pet's eyes a full examination. The lens is not the only structure involved - the health of the entire eye should be evaluated.
