What is Dry Eye?

Dry Eye is a common condition which becomes more common as we age. It occurs when there is an insufficient volume and/or quality of tears to keep the surface of the eye sufficiently lubricated.

Dry Eye can be caused by many factors including:

• Contact lens wear
• Antihistamine and some other medications
• Environmental conditions such as air conditioning in cars, offices and airplanes
• Increased tablet, phone or PC use
• Age related Dry Eye
• Poor diet and dehydration

Signs and symptoms of Dry Eye include:

• Paradoxical tearing
• Sandy or gritty eyes
• Stinging or burning eyes
• Redness
• Contact lens discomfort

Before using any eye products, it is important to read the information and follow the instructions on the package.

• Do not use it, if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, our Rightdose pharmacists or nurse.

 Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet.

 How can we take care of the surface of the Eye

Here are our top tips to maintain a healthy tear film. Always consult your Health Care Professional if symptoms persist. Here are the Top Tips to relieve symptoms of Dry Eye.

Blinking

Every time you blink you produce new tears, with screen time on the increase we don’t blink enough. Taking regular breaks from your computer, phone or tablet and being conscious of how often you blink is a great way to reduce your symptoms.

Preservative Free

Using preservative free products is important for effective relief of dry eye symptoms. Preservatives can cause further irritation to the surface of the eye. When shopping for dry eye products look for preservative free on the label.

Heat

Applying a heated eye mask to closed eyelids for 10 minutes, can help soften the clogged oils in the eyelid glands. This allows the oils to flow more freely and helps prevent the tears from evaporating from the surface of the eye.

Massage

Following the heated eye mask, gently massage the eyelids using your forefinger. Massaging will help to push the oil out from the eyelid glands.

Cleanse

Cleansing your eyelids daily will help remove debris, bacteria and oil that can often lead to Blepharitis, MGD or Dry Eye symptoms. Lid scrubs and wipes are usually pre-soaked in a cleansing solution and ready to use.

Hydrate

Health Care Professionals recommend the use of preservative free eye lubricants and sprays which have shown to be more effective than preserved eye drops or ointments in reducing inflammation on the eyes. Tear replacement with eye drops, sprays or ointments are traditionally considered a mainstay of Dry Eye management, however it is recommended these are used in conjunction with other therapies to target the underlying causes of Dry Eye.

Diet

Health Care Professionals recommend a diet rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids and/or the use of nutritional supplements to help manage Dry Eye Disease. Your eye specialist can suggest a suitable supplement for you.

Before You Use Tear-Lac Eye Drops

Always read the patient information leaflet before use.

• Only one person should be treated with the contents of a bottle of eye drops in order to avoid possible contamination.
• Eye drops should only be administered if the pack is still intact before the first application.
• Do not use with another eye drop unless directed by your doctor or eye practitioner.

The recommended dosage is one drop in each eye, three times daily, however the drops can be used more frequently if required.

Directions:

• Wash your hands before using eye drops.
• Remove the protective cap.
• Hold the COMOD bottle in your hand such that you hold the shoulder of the bottle with your thumb and the base of the bottle with your index and middle finger.
• Use your free hand to slightly pull your lower eyelid away from your eye. You can also use your second hand as a support for the hand which you are using for the bottle.
• Dispense one drop in each eye by quickly pressing the bottom of the bottle once. The liquid spreads evenly when you close your eyes slowly.
• Avoid placing the top of the dropper in contact with the eyelid, eye or any other surface.

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor or eye practitioner.
