Dry Eye Treatment
Dry Eye Treatment – Here are some tips on how to reduce your dry eye symptoms and improve your quality of life
Dry Eye Treatment are important because dry eye is usually a chronic condition and it will not improve by itself.
The first thing you should do if you suspect you have dry eye is to see your doctor. Only your doctor can propose you professional dry eye treatment that are suitable for your condition. Since there is different types of dry eyes, dry eye treatment can be also very different depending on your type of dry eye problem. Your doctor will be able to prescribe you medicine that will help you to fight dry eyes such as Restasis or other anti inflammatory drug. Check with your doctor or optometrist about that.
If you have evaporative dry eyes, the dry eye treatment will consist to use warm compresses and eyelid massage to promote the meibomian glands to secrete the oil that takes part in the tear film. This oil is necessary to prevent a quick evaporation of your tear film between each blink. Some people use as a dry eye treatment a wet washcloth with hot water. In my opinion, this technique is not as effective as if you use a warm compress designed for dry eye treatment. The reason is quite simple, warm compresses offers a warm temperature for more or less 10 minutes witch is the minimum time you need to melt the oil in the meibomian glands. A wet washcloth will offer you heat for few seconds only. If you are serious about dry eye treatment, you really should consider to buy a good warm compresses. These type of compresses can be heated in the microwave and used hundreds of times before you will need to replace it. Several different type of warm compresses are available at the Dry Eye Store.
Another very important thing that you have to take in consideration in your dry eye treatment is the eyelid hygiene. Eyelid cleanser effectively removes excess oils and debris from the eyelids that may lead to eye irritation including blepharitis and dry eye. Consider eyelid cleanser as part of your dry eye treatment. You should use eyelid care products after warm compresses and eyelid massage. I personnaly like to use it in the shower and every morning when I wake up! You can find different type of eyelid cleansers on the Dry Eye Store website. Visit our Eyelid care section to find out witch one suits best your needs. Follow your doctor recommendations as well.
Moisture chambers are another very important thing to take in consideration for your dry eye treatment. You should not neglect the benefits that a moisture chamber eyewear can give you. By offering a moisturized
environment to your eyes, you give them a chance to recover from the effects of dryness and you will reduce redness and overall ocular discomfort.
Dry eye treatment includes also an Omega 3 supplementation with high EPA concentration. It has been demonstrated that EPA in Omega 3 fights the inflammation often present in dry eye disease. You will find Omega 3 at the Dry Eye Store but you can buy them also in any natural product store. Make sure when possible to take liquid Omega 3. My doctor told me that it is more effective for dry eye treatment since the absorption seems to be better. The one I use is the Nutra Sea Hp.

As for the MakeUp, make sure that if you have dry eyes, you use makeup
made for sensitive eyes. MakeUp and cosmetics made for dry and sensitive eyes must be part of your dry eye treatment. Do not forget to use also a makeup remover made for sensitive eyes as well. Do not apply eyeliner where the meibomian glands are located since it can block the duct of these glands, causing dry eyes, stye or chalazion.
