Dry Eyes Treatment

 

Dry Eye Treatments Specifically for Women and Men

Overview

Finally - Two unique eye drops which stimulate the production of all three tear film layers while supporting the health of the cornea, conjunctiva and eye lid. Two separate formulas, one created specifically for women, and one specifically for men. Both formulas share five powerful broad spectrum ingredients which relieve symptoms caused from inflammation due to aqueous deficiency, including severe dryness such as with Sjogren's Syndrome. Additionally, women experience more dry eye symptoms due to hormonal fluctuations so we added the two most commonly prescribed ingredients for these symptoms. For men, we added two different ingredients associated with male pattern dryness. Male dryness is under-reported, and therefor underdiagnosed, so men should be asked specific questions to identify dry eye symptoms.

Description

Homeopathic eye drops: Sterile, non-preserved, pH balanced, isotonic ophthalmic solution containing seven homeopathic active ingredients, micro-diluted and homeopathically potentized between 5x and 12x. No sting. Safe for pregnant women & children. Ok for use with contact lenses in place.

Treatment Strategy

Dry eye is a chronic condition expressed as the body's inactivity in producing any of the components of the three film layers or in maintaining cell health on the corneal surface. Our treatment strategy is to stimulate and support the body's tissues, organs and functions which produce a healthy tear film and maintain corneal health. This should be the primary treatment strategy, and results should be analyzed before determining if punctal plugs, artificial tears or chemical anti-inflammatories are considered. The patient should also take adequate amounts of Omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids, keep well hydrated by drinking plenty of water and take good quality nutraceuticals.

Contraindications and Drug Interactions:

None known.

Suggested Usage

One to three drops in affected eye/s as needed throughout the day or night. Let the symptoms be the guide and use the drops again before full symptoms return. Drops may be used several times per day or hourly if needed. There is no need to remove contact lenses. In areas of airborne allergens, dust or pollutants apply two to three drops as an eye rinse, then blink out the drops. Repeat if needed, then apply one drop to remain on each eye.
