Dry Eye Syndrome: Treat Your Sinus, the answer is there

 

Dr. Lee's Sinus School

Hi I am Dr. Lee Woojeong. I have been treating nasal problems through Korean medicine for
25 years. As we work indoors, many people suffer from dry eye syndrome.

As a matter of fact, this is your sinus problem, not your eyes.

Dry Eye Syndrome: The Problem is your sinus.

DES is a condition caused by a lack of moisture on the surface of the eye.

The cause of the dryness is the heat that dissipates moisture from the eye.

The heat evaporates the tear that lubricates the oscular surface.

When there are not enough tears, the eye becomes dry and cause redness and feeling gritty.

In worsened state, the eyestrain becomes constant whether the eyes are opened or closed. Sleep may bring temporary relief to the condition, but the eye fatigue returns soon.

 

The retina constitutes over 100 million light detective cells

 and 1 million optic nerve cells clustered, processing the most amount of information per area

 in the body, consequently, it generates the most amount of heat. The heat can be taken away

by blood circulation, however, that is not enough in most cases.

 To cope with this, the eyes are attached to a customized cooling device for the eyes.

 

The nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses function

 as an anti-overheating device for the eyes.

If eye strain is present, caused by DES, then it must

 observe whether there is sufficient ventilation in the cavity and sinuses.

Once clear ventilation is restored in those areas, even serious cases

of DES experience significant improvement.

 

Clinical experience reveals preadolescent

children who suffer from sinusitis rarely complain

of DES. It suggests the blood circulation of children

is without impedance. However, when the demand on the eyes

 becomes increased (like when students prepare for college entrance exam),

people start to experience eye strain and dryness.

This is due by the heat generated by the eyes exceeded

the amount of heat that blood circulation able to dissipate.

 

The cause of DES has been explained as lack of

fluid supplied to the cornea or change in the constituents

of tear, however, it would be more appropriate to

define it as evaporation of tear caused by excessive heat in the retina.
