E.eye technique for treating dry eyes
Treatment of dry eyes with modern technology is completely different
from the traditional methods in which dry eyes are treated, in addition
to that it is characterized by the use of a device that takes a sample
from the patient’s tears and examines the proportion of salts in them,
and then an image is measured on the corneal layer to discover the size
of the distribution of the tear in front of the eye.
And with the question of Dr. Muhammad Hantira - Assistant
Professor - Department of Ophthalmology - Umm Al-Qura University -
Saudi Arabia
He mentioned that:
The modern technology for treating dry eyes has proven that among
90% of patients with dry eyes, they do not suffer from problems with
the secretion of tears in the eye, which means that the lacrimal gland is
fully and well functioning, which led to the emergence of this study
recently and the discovery of one of the best modern techniques for
treating dry eyes.
How is dry eyes treated with modern technology?
Dr. Hantira explained:
It is treated in 3 steps, the oil layer is what prevents the tears from
evaporating when exposed to the air, and the movement of the eyelid
is the one that distributes the tears, which prevents the occurrence of
dry eyes and the sebaceous glands that secrete the oily substance into
the tears and are treated and stimulated again to secrete tears to
prevent dry eyes Through the following steps:
1- Stimulating the sebaceous glands:
Treating the glands responsible for secreting tears with modern
technology only takes 3 minutes per eye
The treatment process is done by stimulating these glands and
activating them again to secrete tears and make them appear normal.
2- Use of infrared:
Modern technology for treating dry eyes relies on directing heat to the
glands, making them return to their fluid nature.
3- Nerve stimulation:
The modern technology relies on stimulating the nerves that nourish
the sebaceous glands to modernize, move and activate them in an extra
way and make them perform tasks larger than the normal range until
the dry eye is treated.
Advantages of treating dry eyes with modern technology
• Modern technology works to treat dry eyes and not to compensate
for the lack of sebum secretion
• It does not take long
• After treatment, the patient can return to work normally
• The technology does not have any side effects
• The patient needs only one or two sessions of treatment (severe
cases only need 3 sessions, no more)
• Modern technology treats dry eyes within 5 to 10 minutes (for both
eyes)
Does modern technology treat dry eyes radically?
Treatment with modern technology is radical ... But!
Dr. Hantira explained:
It is necessary to change the lifestyle of everyone who has undergone
treatment with modern technology to treat dry eyes, but what does
this mean!
In a clearer sense, a person who suffers from dry eyes can undergo
treatments, but how is that when he does not drink water in
abundance, which is one of the biggest causes of dry eyes, so at least
every person should drink about two liters of water a day.
It is also not necessary to claim a treatment for dry eyes, despite sitting
in front of the computer for 12 continuous hours
