Dry Eye Syndrome: A Troublesome Eye Condition
Summary
Dry Eye Syndrome affects millions worldwide, causing discomfort due to the decline in the quality of the tear film. A healthy eye is shielded by this film, which maintains moisture between blinks.
The tear film is essential for protecting the eyes from infection and bacteria, ensuring clear vision without irritation. It also helps remove dirt and dust particles that can cause friction.
Causes and Risk Factors
When tear gland function diminishes, it can result in irritation and dry spots on the cornea, affecting vision. Environmental pollutants, aging, hormonal changes, and other factors like hot, dry weather, high altitudes, air-conditioning, smoke, and pollution can contribute. Long hours of reading or computer use, wearing contact lenses, certain medications, vitamin deficiencies, and health conditions like thyroid problems, Parkinson's, and Sjögren’s syndrome can also trigger symptoms.
Symptoms
Watch for signs like itching, burning, redness, eye fatigue, or mucus around the eyes, which can indicate dry eye syndrome.
Nutritional Support
Fatty acids are crucial for eye health, particularly Omega-3 and Omega-6 in a 4:1 ratio. Include almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, borage oil, grape seed oil, primrose oil, soybean oil, and whole grains in your diet. Omega-3 is found in salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, fresh vegetables, flaxseeds, walnuts, and canola oil, all helpful in preventing dry eyes.
Simple Remedy
To alleviate dryness, dip a small towel in warm water, wring it out, and place it on your eyelids for 15 minutes while lying down. Repeat this at least three times a day.
