Dry eye syndrome and its solution

With this condition, the eyes do not produce enough tear fluid or the quality of the tear film composition is impaired. Thus, the eyes are not lubricated properly. As a result, the eyes may become dry, irritated and sensitive, and blurred vision may occur.

Main causes of dry eye syndrome

There are several causes of dry eye syndrome.

•    Environmental effects: wind, dry climate, indoor heating or air conditioning.
•    Lifestyle factors: prolonged exposure to screens, wearing contact lenses, not blinking enough and not drinking enough water.
•    Age and hormonal changes: age-related changes decrease tear production, and hormonal changes affect dryness of the eyes as well.
•    Health conditions and medications: certain chronic illnesses such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases, as well as some medications, can contribute to dry eye syndrome.

Symptoms of dry eye syndrome

•    Burning, stinging or irritation in the eyes
•    Redness
•    Sensitivity to light
•    Feeling like there’s a grain of sand in the eye
•    Blurred or intermittent vision problems
•    Eye fatigue after reading or looking at a screen

Solution for dry eye syndrome

The treatment and relief of dry eye syndrome depends on its severity and causes. Currently, there are a number of effective treatments to help restore eye health.

1. Lifestyle changes and improvement of environmental conditions

•    Giving your eyes a break, especially during screen time.
•    Use of humidifiers indoors to increase the moisture content in the air.
•    Wearing safety goggles in windy and dry conditions.
•    A healthier diet and drinking enough water.
•    Giving up smoking.
 

2. Artificial tears and lubricating eye drops

A very common and simple way to lubricate the eyes is to use artificial tears, which help to restore moisture in the tear film. For long-term use, it is important to choose preservative-free eye drops. In order to choose the right eye drops for you, it is important to identify the cause of dry eye syndrome. To do this, we recommend you undergo dry eye diagnostics. The diagnostics process assesses the condition of the tear film and the causes that may be contributing to a decrease in tear quality.
When choosing artificial tears, it is important to know whether the cause is a lack of aqueous fluid or a lack of an oil layer to seal the tear, or a combination of the two.
 

3. Treatments provided by Pro Optika specialists: Rexon-Eye is an innovative solution for dry eye syndrome treatment

Rexon-Eye is a state-of-the-art medical device designed to relieve and treat dry eye syndrome. It is a device that uses quantum molecular resonance (QMR) technology to treat dry eye syndrome. This technique involves the application of low-intensity, high-frequency electrical currents to the target tissue via contact electrodes. It aims to restore tear production and improve tear film quality, providing long-term relief from both evaporative and aqueous-deficient dry eye syndrome.

4. Causal treatment

If the cause of dry eye may be related to a health problem, the underlying condition should be treated first.

5. Professional diagnostics and individual approach

For an accurate diagnosis and treatment of dry eye syndrome, we recommend booking an appointment at the Pro Optika dry eye office. Pro Optika optometrists use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to determine the condition of your eyes and make a treatment plan. Many of the problems associated with dry eyes can be solved, but they require consistent approach. Rexon-Eye, which is on the market now to alleviate the causes of dry eyes for up to two years, is a great help.

Pro Optika optometrists work closely with ophthalmologists and in the case of a major issue, we will refer you to an ophthalmologist at the Pro Optika store or eye clinic, where an ophthalmologist will prepare a treatment plan.

You can have an appointment with Dr. Kristina Kala, ophthalmologist, at the dry eye office in Kaubamaja 4, Tallinn.

Why is it important to treat dry eye syndrome?

Although dry eye syndrome may seem like an irritating but tolerable issue at first, if left untreated it can have a serious impact on your eye health and quality of life. If left untreated, dry eyes can lead to chronic eye inflammation.

This technique involves the application of low-intensity, high-frequency electrical currents to the target tissue via contact electrodes. It aims to stimulate natural cell renewal and restore tear production.

Why is Rexon-Eye a good option?

1.    It treats the causes, instead of just alleviating the symptoms
Rexon-Eye does not only focus on temporarily relieving dry eye symptoms, but also helps to improve tear film function and stimulates the Meibomian glands. This makes the solution effective for a long time.
2.    Non-contact and painless procedure
The treatment is non-invasive, non-contact and completely painless.
3.    Clinically proven effectiveness
Studies have shown that Rexon-Eye significantly improves dry eye symptoms, including stinging, burning and blurred vision.
4.    Suitable for a wide range of patients
The device is effective for patients with both mild and severe dry eye syndrome, including those with chronic Meibomian gland dysfunction.

Advantages of the technology

•    Security and accuracy: QLT technology directs energy directly into the eye tissues, stimulating cell metabolism and regeneration without damaging the surrounding tissues.
•    Fast treatment: sessions last just 20 minutes and a full course of treatment usually takes 4-6 sessions, making it a time-efficient option.
•    No side effects: treatment with Rexon-Eye has no side effects, making it a safe and user-friendly option.
