Do you often experience dry, itchy, sore, swollen eyes? Many people are naturally associated with dry eye, thought the drugstore to buy artificial tears or drops of eye drops can be solved, clarified ophthalmology Wu Meng Hsien, director of the reminder of the symptoms of dry eye, the patient in addition to the regular feeling of soreness, dry itchy eyes, but also easy to involuntarily tears, photophobia, severe cases may also be due to the rapid collapse of the tear film, the appearance of a short period of blurred vision phenomena, and even cause the epithelium of the eyeballs The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots!
Dry eye has become a civilization disease that plagues modern people, plus the use of 3C products in the country more and more time, young women use a lot of contact lenses or pupil tablets, but also make dry eye has more and more young trend. Dry eye syndrome is not just a lack of water or insufficient tear secretion in the eyes. Nearly 80% to 90% of patients suffer from dry eye syndrome because of the lack of normal oil secretion, resulting in an imbalance of oil and water on the surface of the eyeballs. Since dry eye is quite diverse, accurately determining the cause of dry eye is very important for proper and active treatment. The most advanced testing equipment available today allows for a comprehensive diagnosis of the surface of the eye. In addition to accurately measuring the individual thicknesses of the oil layer, tear layer, and mucus layer of the tear film, it also allows for blepharoplasty and observation of the percentage of incomplete blinks, providing patients with the most detailed and accurate examination and symptomatic treatment to minimize the risk of blindness.
Overuse or underuse of the eyes is an aggravating factor in dry eye disease
The high risk of dry eye disease is due to the heavy use of 3C products, the use of contact lenses or pupil lenses by women *** or eye surgeries for myopia and cataracts, and autoimmune disorders in some of the population. Many people do not have a sense of awareness of the disease and are usually at high risk of developing dry eye. Many people do not have a sense of disease, usually feel dry eyes, but after a long rest or a blink of the eyes, it will return to normal, so they think that it is eye discomfort caused by high intraocular pressure or eye surgery, until the clinic for a comprehensive examination, and then realize that it is actually a dry eye disease at work. There is no single cause of dry eye, but basically it can be categorized into two main types. The first is insufficient tear secretion (dehydrated dry eyes); the second is rapid evaporation of tears (evaporative dry eyes), the main reason is that the function of the eyelid blepharoplakine glands is abnormal, the blepharoplakine glands will be squeezed when blinking and secretion of oil to protect the eyes, such as staring at the computer screen for a long time, blinking frequency is not enough, or because there is no complete blinking and failed to normal squeeze the glands to secrete oil, can be one of the reasons that cause dry eye syndrome. This is one of the reasons why it's so important to keep your eyes on the road, so that you can see what's going on and what's not.
Introducing precision medicine to detect the causes of dry eye
Clarifying ophthalmology, Dr. Wu Meng-hsien, said that in the past, the detection of dry eye was mostly done by using the ophthalmic slit lamp to simply observe the thickness of the tear film, the tear film disintegration time, and the severity of corneal breakage, and then with the tear test paper to understand the amount of tear secretion, to diagnose whether it is a deficiency of the eye, and then to diagnose whether it is a deficiency of the eye. For evaporative dry eye, we can only observe the keratinization or oil secretion around the eyelids to determine the condition, and then give eye drops or ointment to alleviate the symptoms of dry eye. However, there is no effective examination method for dry eye patients with "lid gland dysfunction", which results in the ineffectiveness of most dry eye treatments. However, accurate diagnosis is essential for proper treatment, especially if the glands are blocked and inflamed, which can easily lead to atrophy and irreversible damage.
With the latest ocular lipids detector, it is now possible to accurately measure the individual thicknesses of the lipid, tear, and mucus layers of the tear film, as well as to perform blepharography and observe the percentage of incomplete blinks. Blepharoscopy also shows whether the ducts of the levator glands are blocked, twisted, or even atrophied, and treatment can be intensified for the blocked portion of the ducts to prevent them from shrinking or even disappearing altogether, because once they are severely atrophied, even with active treatment, the damage to the eye is irreversible. The treatment can be used in conjunction with the Blepharoplasty Thermal Pulsator, which heats the blepharoplasty glands on the inside of the eyelids at a constant temperature to soften the congealed oil, and works with the pulse pressure on the outside of the eyelids *** to unclog the obstructed blepharoplasty glands and achieve therapeutic effects to improve the patient's quality of life.
Introduction of precision medicine point of view all-round accurate detection, in order to iron mouth straight to determine the cause of dry eyes.Outpatient treatment is a momentary process, but home health care is a lifetime process!
For dry eye patients with blepharoplasty abnormalities, in addition to the use of instruments or surgery to unblock the blocked glands, daily continuous health care is also very important, the daily use of hot packs or hot towels warm compresses on the eyes, each time for 5-10 minutes, to reduce fatigue and increase the secretion of tears, but also due to the reduction of tears, easy to cause corneal damage, should avoid prolonged eye use and wear contact lenses, and also remember to rest and blink regularly, and to avoid the need to use contact lenses, so as to prevent the eye from being damaged. At the same time, remember to take regular breaks to blink and pay attention to sleep. In addition, the improvement of living habits is also very important, it is recommended not to stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time, reduce the windy activities, and in terms of dietary health care, eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins A, C, and E, and can be supplemented with the appropriate amount of fish oil, which can improve the inflammation of the eyes with Omega-3. Dry eye is a chronic disease, and Dr. Wu Meng-hsien, president of the Clarion Ophthalmology Department, emphasized again that the public should not ignore the symptoms of dry eye, and should first go to the outpatient clinic to receive professional ophthalmologist's evaluation and diagnosis, to understand which type of dry eye they belong to, and patiently cooperate with the doctor's instructions for treatment, most patients can still maintain a good quality of life, and to prevent the risk of losing their eyesight.
