Dry eye disease (EOS), also called dry eye, dry eye syndrome ( SOS), xerophthalmia orkeratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common condition that occurs when the quantity or quality of tears fails to keep the surface of the eye adequately lubricated.
By not being able to maintain a quality tear film, the ocular surface (eyelids, cornea and conjunctiva) is altered and the eye has a poorly hydrated ocular surface.This leads to insufficient ocular hydration, causing discomfort such as foreign body sensation, irritation, itching and other vision-related problems.Experts estimate that dry eye affects millions of adults worldwide and the risk of developing dry eye syndrome increases with advancing age. The syndrome can affect anyone, but is more common in women than in men.
Symptoms of dry eye include a gritty or foreign body sensation, burning, itching or redness in the eye, blurred vision, tearing, heaviness in the eyelids or sensitivity to light. These signs are often exacerbated in dry, air-conditioned or heated and windy environments.
People with dry eye often tend to have watery eyes. This is because in dry eyes, the eye responds by increasing tear volume. Dry eye sufferers may feel that they cannot keep their eyes open for very long. They may also feel that their eyes are not comfortable after reading or watching television.
Treatment is by a multiple and prolonged approach to the disease. Of particular note is the use of eye drops as the main element to stabilise, moisturise and lubricate. The eye drops or colloquially called artificial tears must lubricate , protect and facilitate the recovery of the ocular surface, not alter vision, be sterile, non-toxic, with a long permanence time and without preservatives.
The exact treatment will depend on whether the symptoms are caused by: decreased tear production, rapid tear evaporation, or if there is some other underlying condition.In other extreme cases, surgery is recommended, which involves permanently closing the tear ducts that drain tears into the nose, thus allowing there to always be a good amount of tears in the eyes. This occlusion is usually performed using punctal plugs, which can be temporary, as they dissolve after a short time, or permanent, made of silicone.
The use of preservative-free eye drops is recommended to avoid future complications on the corneal surface, especially in patients with severe dry eye, as they require more frequent instillations.In more severe cases, treatment should be accompanied by other therapeutic measures such as eyelid hygiene or topical anti-inflammatory treatments, always under the supervision of a specialist.
Among the different ranges for eye health, which you can find on the Farmaciasdirect website, the following products stand out.
A solution containing 2% Ectoin® to reduce conjunctival inflammation. It relieves symptoms such as red, itchy and watery eyes. Ectoin® is a cell-protecting molecule with inflammation-reducing and membrane-stabilising properties. Ectoin® acts by inhibiting the degradation of ceramides and stabilising cell membranes. Thanks to its mechanism of action, Ectodol®OphthalmicSolution can be used after eye surgery.
The ocular surface is made up of different ocular structures, such as the conjunctiva, cornea and tear film. The pathologies and surgical affectations that take place on the surface of the eye are often associated with inflammation of the cornea or conjunctiva, which must be treated to reduce pain, prevent it from affecting vision, reduce inflammation...
The pathologies that can cause inflammation of the ocular surface are:
Conjunctivitis: Inflammation of the transparent layer that covers the eyelids and the sclera (white area of the eyes). Reddening of the eyes, slight swelling of the eyelids, foreign body sensation and increased tearing are observed.
Keratitis: Inflammation of the cornea, the anterior, transparent structure of the eyeball.
Tear Epiphora: Inflammation of the tear drainage pathways (elimination pathways). Inflammation of the eyelid in the nasolacrimal area, associated with trauma, obstructions or infections.
In addition to pathologies, there are also other causes that can lead to inflammation of the ocular surface: trauma, which can cause erosion or injury to the conjunctiva and/or cornea, leading to inflammation of the affected area, and surgery, as any cut or injury to the cornea or conjunctiva is associated with inflammation of the area.
Effective long-lasting hydration in cases of mild to moderate ocular dryness. It is a 0.10% hyaluronic acid artificial tear (1 mg/ml) to improve lubrication of the ocular surface in eyes that, due to environmental conditions or postoperative ophthalmic treatments, suffer from dryness, stinging or foreign body sensation. Sterile, preservative-free and phosphate-free eye drops.
Hylo-Comod® forms a long-lasting, stable, moisturising and lubricating film on the ocular surface. It is compatible with contact lenses, has no preservatives or phosphates, can be applied up to 6 months after opening, has a guaranteed 300 drops and can be administered to children and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Preservative-free, in the patented Comod® system, preservatives are chemical substances used to guarantee the sterility of the product during its time of use. Preservatives are products capable of destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, and despite their use at very low concentrations, they present cellular toxicity. Sometimes they can damage the cells of the ocular surface itself, cause instability of the tear film and reduce tear break-up time.
Greater hydration and permanence for severe or chronic dry eye, and in post-operative treatments. It is a 0.20% (2 mg/ml) hyaluronic acid artificial tear to improve ocular surface lubrication in eyes that, due to environmental conditions or post-operative ophthalmic treatments, suffer from dryness, stinging or foreign body sensation. Sterile, preservative-free, phosphate-free eye drops.
Forms a stable, long-lasting lubricating and moisturising film on the ocular surface. It is compatible with contact lenses, has no preservatives or phosphates, can be applied up to 6 months after opening, has 300 drops guaranteed and can be administered to children and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Is an innovative treatment to relieve moderate to severe dry eye symptoms. EvoTears® are the first eye drops based on patented EyeSol® technology offering the following advantages: excellent diffusion (even distribution) of the liquid in the tear film due to extremely low surface tension, forms a film that protects the lipid layer of the eye.The resulting eye drops in the EyeSol® container are designed to protect the outer lipid layer and the underlying aqueous phase of the tear film and allow the tear film to be regenerated and reconstructed in a gentle way.
The resulting droplets in the ergonomically shaped container adapt to the tear film. The EyeSol® technology allows the precise distribution of small drops, and their volume and size allow a perfect bond to the ocular surface.
It is the revolutionary new therapy for the treatment of dry eye, contains no water, preservatives, emulsifiers or phosphates and is therefore particularly well tolerated. Eye drops offer the possibility of comprehensive treatment and improvement of dry eye symptoms. Thanks to the innovative EyeSol® technology, EvoTears® forms a delicate protective film on the tears, thus enabling a fast and long-lasting regeneration and reconstruction of the tear film, in particular its outer lipid layer. It provides comfortable and long-lasting relief of symptoms and a pleasant sensation of comfort.
Sterile, preservative-free and phosphate-free eye drops. Hylo-Fresh® forms a long-lasting, stable, moisturising and lubricating film on the ocular surface. It is compatible with all types of contact lenses, has no preservatives or phosphates, can be used for up to 6 months after opening, has a guaranteed 300 drops and can be used by children and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
