101. Healthy Pet | Diseases: What Is Dry Eye?
     What is dry eye? Back to FAQ Menu Answer. Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS), or dryeye, involves inflammation of the cornea due to decreased tear production.  
     http://www.healthypet.com/FAQ/pet_diseases-16.html
     
     Extractions: Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS), or "dry eye," involves inflammation of the cornea due to decreased tear production. The disease usually affects middle-aged or older dogs and has been reported in cats, as well. The watery part of the tears is no longer made, so only the mucous remains. One or both eyes may have a mucous type of discharge in or around the eye. Other signs of dry eye include redness or irritation in the eye and squinting. Your pet may constantly rub its eyes, as well. Dry eye is more than just an annoyance. The corneas will become chronically dry and irritated and then cloudy, and brown pigmentation may appear. Left untreated, dry eye will lead to blindness. If your veterinarian suspects dry eye, he or she will check your pet's tear production. This is done through a simple, inexpensive, one-minute test called a Schirmer tear test. If the tear production is impaired, there are many medications that can help.

     Extractions: Who gets dry eyes? Dry eyes can affect anyone, but it becomes more common with increasing age. Dry eyes affects about 7 in 100 people in their 50s, and about 15 in 100 people in their 70s. Women are affected more often than men. What are the causes of dry eyes? The eyes normally make a small amount of tears all the time to lubricate the front of the eye. Tears are made by the tiny lacrimal glands (tear glands) above each eye. The tears then drain down the tear duct into the nose. Anything that reduces the normal amount of tears that are made may result in dry eyes. The causes include: Ageing. You tend to make less tears as you get older. Medication. Some medicines which you may take for other conditions sometimes have a side effect of causing dry eyes, or make dry eyes worse. These include: diuretics ('water tablets') some antidepressants antihistamines some treatments for anxiety and other psychological problems the contraceptive pill beta-blockers such as propranolol, atenolol, etc.

     Extractions: But for people with the problem, dry eyes can be anything from annoying to life-wrecking. Their eyes feel gritty, scratchy, parched, as if they are being slowly sanded away. Perhaps because eyes have so many more nerves than other parts of the body, they can hurt so much that all a sufferer wants to do is to crawl off in a corner and close them. Sunlight can make things even worse. So can wind. Dry eye syndrome "is often pooh-poohed because it doesn't usually cause blindness," says Dr. Janine Smith, deputy clinical director of the National Eye Institute in Bethesda, Md. But it can destroy quality of life. "You have to blink all the time. You can't keep your eyes open. If you have a job, it's hard to do it."

Dietary Calcium Associated With Reduced Risk Of Kidney Stones In Younger Women Cholesterol Levels Fluctuate With The Seasons Patients Who Receive Kidneys From Older Donors Do Well related stories Related section: Premature ovarian failure (POF) occurs when the ovaries stop functioning normally in women under 40 years and affected approximately 1 percent of women in a large study, according to the article. Women with POF experience the same symptoms of estrogen deficiency as postmenopausal women, including hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, and mood swings, and have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Androgen deficiency (low levels of the male hormone androgen), has been associated with dry eye, a condition affecting an estimated 15 percent of people in the United States aged 65 to 84 years. Reduced tear production and poor tear quality (causing moisture to evaporate from the surface of the eye too quickly) can result in dry eye. Because women with POF also have androgen deficiency, it is possible that POF and dry eye symptoms may be associated.

     http://www.novartisophthalmics.com/consumers/dryeye.shtml
     
     Extractions: Dry eye is a disorder of the tear film due to tear deficiency or excessive evaporation that causes a damage to the ocular surface and is associated with symptoms of discomfort. Tear film is the first refractive layer of the eye. It lubricates the ocular surface, possesses a flushing action and an antibacterial effect. It plays an important role in corneal health and ocular surface homeostasis. It also supports contact lenses. The composition of tear film is not fully understood. It is a biochemical mixture consisting of water and electrolytes, mucins, immunoglobulins, lysosomes, growth factors and polar and non-polar hydrophobic lipids. Tear film consists of three separate layers: an inner mucin or glycocalyx layer, a middle aqueous, hydrated gel layer and an outer lipid layer . All three layers play a role in tear production. Normal tear volume is 6-8 microliters and the normal tear production rate is 1.2 microliters per minute. Dry eyes can be classified as aqueous tear or mucin deficiencies, lipid or lid surfacing abnormalities and as epitheliopathies. The two main causes of dry eye are decreased tear production and increased evaporative loss. Both Sj¶grens and non-Sj¶rgens syndromes are due to decreased tear production. Sj¶grens syndrome is due to lacrimal gland disease while non-Sj¶rgens syndrome is due to loss of reflex tearing. Increased evaporative loss is seen in Meibomian gland disease such as meibomitis, in cases of exposure such as lagophthalmos and in persons with a blink abnormality or in contact lens wearers.

     http://www.inspirepharm.com/dryeye.html
     
     Extractions: Dry eye, an ocular surface disease, is the general term for a condition in which abnormalities in the eye's tear film lead to burning, painful, red, irritated, gritty and dry eyes. These abnormalities are typically characterized by a decrease in tear production, an increase in tear evaporation or the improper mixture of the eye's tear film components. If left untreated, dry eye disease can result in permanent corneal damage and visual impairment. Restasis (cyclosporin ophthalmic emulsion, 0.05%) is currently the only FDA-approved, pharmacologically active treatment for dry eye in the United States. Restasis has been shown to increase tear production in patients whose tear production is presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation. Because diquafosol and Restasis have different mechanisms of action, we consider them complementary products and believe the commercial opportunity of these products to be significant Other than Restasis, the current treatments for dry eye disorders in the major markets consist of artificial tear solutions and lubricant drops. In some cases, small plugs are inserted by physicians in the corner of the eyes to slow tear drainage. Artificial tears, which are available as over-the-counter and, in some countries, as prescription products, provide temporary relief of symptoms, but can also wash out the natural proteins and other components that keep an eye healthy.

However, sometimes not enough tears are produced, for example due to Sjogren's syndrome. Some medicines can also cause dry eyes, e.g. tricyclic antidepressants, decongestants and some medicines for Parkinson's disease. Some people just develop dry eyes as they become older. Eye drops or eye ointments for dry eyes keep the eye moist and therefore make it feel more comfortable. Eye ointments usually cause blurring of the vision, so may be a second choice to eye drops unless the eye is extremely dry. Blurred vision is less important if the ointment is applied at bedtime, and the ointment may provide relief for longer than the drops. The different brands of eye drops for dry eye may contain different ingredients or different strengths, so you may need to try different drops to find one you like the most (your pharmacist or doctor should be able to advise you on this).

But there may be more than 10 million Americans who have a significant dry eye condition that may be related to other symptoms. The classic Sjogren's-Associated dry eye affects up to two percent of the population. This triad of symptoms includes: dry eye, dry mouth and arthritis. Dry eyes can be caused by medication, dehydration, inflammation of the eyelids and/or skin, previous eye surgery, systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, lupus, sarcoidosis and even poor blinking habits (such as staring at a computer). Tears at not just water. They have three separate components: 1.) Oil (from the Meibomian oil glands in the eyelids); 2.) Mucous (from the goblet cells deep inside the eyelid); 3.) watery tears (the "aqueous" tears from the lachrymal gland and accessory lachrymal glands located in the conjunctiva of the eyelids).

If the cornea is not kept moist, a dry eye or exposure keratitis may develop. It is much like chapped lips and leads to dry, burning, gritty eyes. The simple addition of artificial tears and reminders to the patient to blink fully and frequently can manage this problem. In severe cases, silicone tear duct plugs may inserted to reduce the loss of tears from the eye down the normal draining tubes. This is equivalent to placing a stopper in the bathtub.The result is more tears in the eye.

Please contact us here The unique properties of Rose Hip Oil were first discovered by a team of researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacology at the University of Concepcion, a prestigious university in Chile. They completed a study in 1983 in order to evaluate the positive action of the oil in the skin regeneration process. This two-year study focused on the cicatrizing action of Rose Hip Oil. During this time, an oil preparation was applied to 180 patients with surgical, traumatic and post-burning scars: as well as to a group suffering from premature aging. The results were remarkable. It was found that Rose Hip Oil produced an effective regenerative action on the skin. Continuous application of Rose Hip Oil effectively helped in attenuating scars and wrinkles, in preventing advancement of premature aging, and in regaining lost skin natural color and tone. Since then, numerous studies on Rose Hip Oil have been completed at various universities in Chile and in other countries. Although the emphasis of these studies was on the clinical and therapeutic use of Rose Hip Oil, the findings from the University of Concepcion opened the door for its use in the cosmetic industry.
