DRY EYES SYNDROME Description It represents a diverse group of conditions characterized by symptoms of ocular discomfort and is associated with decreased tear production and/or abnormally rapid tear film evaporation. Abnormality in preocular tear film results in ocular surface damage and dry eyes and affects 15% in elderly, especially females and 20-30% in contact lens wearers. Dry eye occurs when the eye does not produce tears properly, or when the tears are not of the correct consistency and evaporate too quickly. Dry eye can make it more difficult to perform some activities, such as using a computer or reading for an extended period of time, and it can decrease tolerance for dry environments, such as the air inside an airplane.

Throughout the book Dry Tears, Nechama and her family have gone through many obstacles that no person would ever wish to go through in life. The family has had to sacrifice many things. For example; their pride, their beliefs, and most importantly, their identity. Nechama and her family have traveled to many locations and lived with different families in order to survive. The type of resources I would consider they had, were the people who helped them along the way. Though I am drawn to the thought that luck played a giant factor throughout the book as a result of the family being able to avoid most interactions with the Nazi's during the unexpected raids and having to hide their identity's when traveling. Nechama and her family are fortunate enough to have made it through the holocaust due to the amount of resources provided to them by the families that helped aid them during the war, the many altercations that were avoided throughout the raids, and also the amount of risk they put themselves through in order to survive. From my perspective, Nechama and her family survived WWII and the Holocaust due to a mixture of luck and the resources given to them.

There are two different kinds of macular degeneration. There is a "wet" macular degeneration and a "dry" macular degeneration. More than half of the people with macular degeneration have the dry degeneration. The dry macular degeneration involves deposits of drusen which leads to the damage of the macula. Patients may still have good vision even when having dry macular degeneration. The early symptoms of dry macular degeneration include minimal vision impairment and the disease progresses really slow.
Ptosis is a condition that will cause a patient's eyelids to start drooping. Unfortunately, this can be a progressive condition, and it may be possible for the eyelid to worsen as time passes. This condition can be caused by a number of issues, but it is particularly common in elderly patients. This can be explained by the fact that the skin around the eyelid will lose much of its elasticity as you age, which can contribute to drooping. In addition to age-related ptosis, it is also possible for nerve damage to contribute to this embarrassing condition because it may cause the muscle to be either partially or completely paralyzed.
Many people take their vision for granted, but the moment it starts to deteriorate, they realize just how much they need it. Kenneth G Amend is an ophthalmology practice in Cincinnati, OH, and they encourage clients to take a preventative approach to eye health by having an eye care center catch and treat minor issues before they morph into major problems.
The tear layer has less effect on contact lens power, if lens is in perfect alignment onto the cornea. The degree of clearance of the lens enables the tear film to have a power effect on cornea/tear/lens system. Inadequate watery layer in the tear film causes dry eyes. As such the contact lenses become uncomfortable to wear.
Chronic dry eye is a common condition that affects millions of Americans every year.

If they have pink eye in both eyes it kills the cattle either by not drinking water or not eating any food as the cattle can’t see if they have pink eye. Pink eye is mainly between the season of autumn and summer the reason why is because most of the fly’s are out then.

This condition is caused by damage to the part of the eye that provides you with central vision (macula). Dry AMD happens when deposits in the macula cause light-sensitive cells in the macula to slowly break down. Wet AMD happens when
According to The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Illustrated Manual of Ophthalmology, conjunctivitis is defined as an infectious or non-infectious inflammation of the conjunctiva. Conjunctivitis is commonly known as” pink eye”,it is one of the most common eye infection that is seen at the eye doctor’s offices. At any given week, doctors see approximately three to five patients with conjunctivitis, the numbers could be more depending on the season. The doctor will be able to determine whether the conjunctivitis is caused by a virus, bacterium, or allergen, based on patient history, symptoms, and an extensive eye exam.
This study was carried out to assess the changes of tear film after recovery from acute conjunctivitis. All the required medical data are collected on a self – designed Performa . The tear film break up time measured in control group and case group. The desired number of patients are taken from department of ophthalmology, Madina Teaching Hospital Faisalabad.
Cataract surgery is among the most common procedures performed in older people and is one of the oldest procedures known. It is done due to the lens becoming cloudy and leads to the vision being affected. This happens when proteins in the lens clump together causing the cloudy area to become larger, affecting vision more over time. The most common cause is age related, but it could also be due to other reasons such as traumatic, diabetic, radiation, secondary and congenital.
