As  the  weather  gets  colder  and  drier,  i see  patients with  dry  eye  syndrome  often  thesedays.

Dry  eye  syndrome  is  a  condition  caused  by  a lack  of  moisture  on  the  surface of  the  eyes.

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

When  there  are  not  enough  tears, the  eye  becomes  dry  and  cause redness  and  feeling  gritty.  When  it  gets  worse, you  will  feel constant  eyestrain  whether  your  eyes  are  opened  or  not.

I say  dry  eye  syndrome  should be  distinguished  into two.

1.  Dry  eye  syndrome

2. Extraocular muscle  pain

See  which  you  belong  before  you  go  to  see  a doctor.

If  yoy  fall  into  no2, enough  sleep might  helpful.  Or  splash  cold  water  on the  eyes  to start  the  day.


If  this  does  not  help  your  symptom  and  you  suffer  continously, you  have  to  doubt  whether  your  sinuses  are  blocked  or  not.

You  will  need  a more  prolonged  treatment.  If  you  wish  to  know more  about  your  dry  eyes  and  sinuses, please  look  up  the book,  sinus  school  which  contains  correlation  between  dry eyes  and  your  sinuses.


Just  by  a needle-pricking  therapy, you  can  heal  your  blocked  sinuses  and  it  is also deeply  related  with  snoring.
