The Amazing Tear Film
When the tear film loses moisture, it doesn’t perform its many functions as well and vision can become compromised.
Exposed hard portions of the eye (including the white sclera and clear cornea), are protected and lubricated by the tear film, which also contributes to light refraction and supplies oxygen to living corneal cells. Though only 20 to 30 microns (millionths of a meter) thick,...

Symptoms and Relief of Allergy Eye
An “allergy” may be defined as “an adverse immunological reaction to a substance that normally does not produce such a reaction.” Adverse reactions to things like pollen, mold spores and pet dander (called “allergens”), are allergies because most people are not bothered by them. An adverse reaction to cigarette smoke or bee stings is not technically an allergy because nearly everybody reacts...

USDA Food Pyramid Is Now “My Plate”
Still not a Single Glass of Water
“The health effects of dehydration in a changing environment are becoming pervasive. Dehydration diseases such as dry eye effects 50% of the population and are becoming a crisis.

It may be called “dry eye,” “red eye,” “computer vision syndrome (CVS),” “allergy eye,” “irritated eyes,” “tired eyes,” “sore eyes,” “itchy eyes,” “puffy eyes,” or “swollen eyes.” Whatever the name, Dry eye is a dehydration disease experienced by nearly everyone and is on its way to...

River Blindness
Since March 22 was World Water Day, it might be “illuminating” to talk about eye diseases and water. It is true that the most common and fatal waterborne diseases (caused by unsanitary water), don’t affect the eyes: These include infant diarrhea, cryptosporidium, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and many more. However, there is a disease called “onchocerciasis” or “river blindness,” that is...

Dry Eyes & Questions for your doctor
Doctor: How have you been feeling?
Patient: Good. A little tired though. My eyes seem to weigh a ton. (laughs)
Doctor: Do you have any allergies?
Patient: I don't think so. Maybe my nose runs a little during heavy pollen season. And my eyes get red.
Doctor: What about when you are at a computer? Do you spend much time online or in front of a computer at work?
Patient: Yeah, I work on a computer all day. Do you think that could have something to do with feeling tired?
Doctor: It is possible. It is important when sitting at a desk all day to remember to get up and stretch often. You may also want to use an eye mist to refresh your eyes during the day, as they can get dried out when staring at a computer for long periods.
