The treatment of dry eye syndrome is mostly alternative therapy, which is to instill eye drops to lubricate the eyes and reduce the feeling of dryness. However, many patients like to "treat" themselves with antibiotics when they begin to feel eye discomfort. , Antiviral eye drops. In fact, this method is not suitable for the treatment of dry eye syndrome. On the contrary, it may aggravate the symptoms, because different treatments for dry eye syndrome are different. If dry eye syndrome is caused by taking certain drugs, the drug should be stopped; if it is caused by immune diseases, endocrine disorders, vitamin deficiency, etc., the above diseases must be treated first. Tear-deficient dry eyes require artificial tears. , just take it when you feel uncomfortable, but it is best not to exceed 6 times a day. If it exceeds 6 times, the normal tear film will be washed away, thus aggravating the symptoms.
Experience, personal test, useful:
1. Eye exercises 6 times/day, earlobes, behind the ears, and temples are important parts, squeeze the inner corners of the eyes >100 times/time . Refer to the small mine winter melon in the bar. After finishing, use a comb to comb the scalp on both sides of the temples and comb vigorously.
2. Apply hot compress with wet towel 3 times/day. Fill the long plastic bag containing soy milk with hot water and wrap it in a hot wet towel to extend the heating time; or use a facial steamer and apply heat with your eyes closed; never use a steam eye mask, as it will be too dry.
3. Soak your feet in very hot water for more than 20 minutes before going to bed. My feet were red from the heat and my eyes were sweating. I personally tested it and it is super effective, but it hurts and makes me sweat every time. Persistence leads to victory.
4. Use the massage hammer to hit the three legs for 10 minutes each time until it hurts so much that you want to cry. Acupuncture also pricks this acupoint and taps it with a massage hammer at any time, which is more effective than acupuncture.
5. Go to bed before 10 o'clock, and wear eye patch before going to bed. 1 hot compress, 2 foot soaks, 3 health exercises, 4 eye patches (I use Golden Vision), a set of procedures takes one and a half hours. Do it every day and you will see results within a week.
6. If you have insomnia, take sleeping pills. You must lie down and close your eyes at 9:30. The medicine is diazepam < ezolam, take it according to the situation.
6. This is very important. If your cervical spine is not good, go to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic for bone setting. Western medicine won’t tell you that spinal curvature causes dry eyes. Bone setting effect: Leather hammer > American correction. I once used a leather hammer to straighten my bones. When I got up the next day, a tear flowed from my eyes. At that time, my eyes were so dry that I stopped secreting eye mucus. In addition, if the spine is curved, acupuncture is of no use.
7. If you have never done meibomian gland massage, go for it. Even though the doctor said it was not caused by blockage and there was no need to do it, I still asked for it to be done once to squeeze out a lot of things and it would definitely help.
8. Basic common sense: quit using mobile phones, quit using computers, and quit using eye drops. For eye drops, we only recommend Sea Dew, the German version.
9. Drink 3 liters of water a day and run and exercise like a wild dog.
10. Wet chamber mirror is very useful and non-dependent. It provides a moist environment for the eyes and helps restore self-regulation of the eyes. I recommend Meizhong 2015 version. Yuejia is too heavy. Since I have recovered, my wet room mirror has been sold second hand.
11. Last winter, when I was not completely healed, my eyes hurt again after playing with my mobile phone for a few days. Spray Avène's big spray into your eyes and put on the wet room mirror to get a lot of relief. I have used mineral water and German spray, but the more I sprayed, the drier it became. Only Avène can calm down, it’s amazing.
10. Those who use computers for work should wear anti-blue light glasses. Very important! I haven’t touched my phone for a year, but I couldn’t avoid making calls, so I put an anti-blue light film on it. Turn down the brightness.
11. Diet does not play a big role, but doing it is better than not doing it. Don't eat spicy food. You can buy vitamins A, B, lutein, and eat more carrots and tomatoes fried in oil.
12. Don’t rely on doctors. Say important things three times. For example, the machine tests for lipid deficiency, but what causes it? Overuse your eyes? Nerve compression in the cervical spine? Lack of nutrients and water? Long-term depression and insomnia? No matter what the problem is, Western medicine will recommend meibomian gland massage because he can't prescribe anything else. Therefore, you must face up to the cause of your illness and find your own path to be responsible for yourself.
Thoughts:
I gave up my originally good job during the treatment process, and I stumbled around and received cold treatment and glares. When I first entered society, I got sick and realized that my life had been too smooth before. My best friend who had been divulging my heart and soul for 13 years only thought so. The friends and relatives who surrounded me before made me realize what it means to be in a hot and cold world. My parents' indifference and anger towards me finally made me wake up.
However, I also met many kind-hearted people. In June 2016, I went to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, but I didn't register. A kind-hearted doctor heard that I flew 2,000 kilometers to see a doctor. He gave me a lot of free examinations without prescribing any eye medicine when no one was paying attention. He recommended a medicine called inosine tablets, which cost a few yuan a bottle. It was used to treat hepatitis. He said that taking it for a long time can treat conjunctivitis. The principle is to regulate protease. Dear friends, you can try it.
At the same time, I gained the first and only boyfriend in my life. He is a medical student and I have known him for a long time. It was not until he learned that I was sick that he approached me as a doctor. In this difficult darkness, he did not take advantage of me. On the contrary, he cherished me and said that I made people feel distressed. He is my spiritual support, my doctor, my parent, my friend, my comrade-in-arms and my support. Although we eventually broke up, I am still grateful.
Written to fellow patients:
Patients with dry eye syndrome are generally not understood. I once fell into the abyss of despair, but a year later, I recovered. What I want to say is that when you are most desperate, you can see clearly who your friends are, who your relatives are, who loves you the most, and you can figure out what kind of life you want to live. Believe me, I have tried all of the above experiences and they all work in my own tests. You need to make a schedule and rotate the above experiences into practice. The pain will pass and you may be fine next month.
