What is Dry Eye?

Defining the Condition
Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when the eyes lack sufficient lubrication and moisture, leading to discomfort, irritation, and potential damage to the ocular surface. The tear film, responsible for keeping the eyes moist, may be compromised, causing an array of symptoms such as stinging, burning, redness, and fluctuating vision.

Causes of Dry Eye

Understanding the Triggers
Dry Eye Syndrome can be triggered by various factors:

Age: Aging often leads to a decrease in tear production and quality.

Environmental Factors: Exposure to wind, smoke, and dry climates can contribute to dry eyes.

Screen Time: Prolonged use of digital devices can reduce blink frequency, leading to dry eye symptoms.

Medical Conditions: Certain health issues, such as diabetes and autoimmune diseases, may contribute to dry eyes.

Medications: Some medications, including antihistamines and decongestants, can reduce tear production.

Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially in women during pregnancy or menopause, can impact tear production.

Exploring the Impact of Hormonal Imbalances and Functional Deficiencies on Ocular Health

Dry eye can also be attributed to hormonal imbalances and functional deficiencies within the body. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including the production and composition of tears. Fluctuations or imbalances in hormones, particularly those related to thyroid function and menopause in women, can impact the quantity and quality of tears, leading to dry eye symptoms. Additionally, deficiencies in essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, can compromise the proper functioning of the tear film and contribute to the development of dry eyes. Understanding the multifaceted nature of dry eye causes, including hormonal factors and functional deficiencies, underscores the importance of comprehensive health assessment in addressing and managing this common ocular condition.

What is Amniotic Membrane?

Amniotic membrane comes from the inner layer of the placenta and is packed with natural healing properties. Think of it like a superhero for your eyes, loaded with stem cells, growth factors and anti-inflammatory goodness.

How Can It Treat Dry Eyes?

During amniotic membrane therapy, this special membrane is applied to the surface of your eyes. It works its magic by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and improving the stability of your tear film. Essentially, it helps your eyes heal and feel better!

What Happens During the Transplant?

Don't worry—it's a straightforward process. The amniotic membrane can be applied as patches or eye drops. No need for major surgery or complicated procedures. The membrane does its job quietly, encouraging your eyes to produce healthier tears and improving overall eye health.
