DRY EYE SYNDROME: It's a matter of your sinus, not your eyes (Sinus School by Dr. Lee)

DRY EYE SYNDROME & HOW TO TREAT DRY EYES

 

 

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 Signs of DES

 

At early stage, people are not aware of their bloodshot eyes. They only find out once they see themselves on the mirror. This, however, normally goes away after a night of sound sleep.

 

The body's anatomical structure is designed in such a way to effectively diffuse the heat generated from the eyes, in taking each breath. Therefore, frequent blood-shot eyes warrants attention. The increased frequency of bloodshot eyes may coincide with partially blocked paranasal sinuses. At this stage, the body can cope with it by inducing more fluid by blinking the eyes more often. Accordingly, frequent blinking can be a sign of early DES.

 

Here is the summary of how DES progresses.

 

Stage 1. More frequent blinking

 

Stage 2. More forceful blinking, involving the eyelid muscles

 

Stage 3. Frequent bloodshot eyes

 

Stage 4. Frequent eyestrain and display eye discharge more than others

 

Stage 5. Increased light sensitivity and soreness in the eyes  

 

Stage 6. Feeling burning sensation in the eyes when exposed to dry or polluted air

 

Stage 7. Eye sight becomes blear and deteriorate

 

Stage 8. Eye sight becomes foggy and feeling pain

 

Stage 9. Frequent infection in the eyelids

 

Stage 10. When woke up in the morning, the eyes are dry and red

 

Stage 11. Regardless the eyes closed or opened, the eyestrain remains

 

 

 

The number of patients who suffer from DES is rapidly growing. Several decades ago, when I was in college, the name DES was even unheard of, showing how rare this condition was. But in recent years, people who had no previous visits to an eye doctor, seeking medical help for DES.

 

As mentioned previously, DES is not an opthalmologic disorder, but an ENT disorder. While the growth of rhinitis and sinusitis make a steep angled increase lately, the growth of DES patients represents similar trend. The sales of artificial tears have risen sharply, depicting the increase in the number of DES patizzaents.

 

One thing I repeatedly learn from treating DES is that we are all victims of air pollution. Our reluctant generation has lost the privilege of enjoying the clean, fresh air. It is truly saddening to watch well treated patients can succumb to air pollution; air pollution can wear out the nose, and in turn, it undermines the function of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

 

DES was named, because people thought the problem was caused by lack of tears that keeps the cornea moist. But the treatment has been centered around treating the dried cornea. To say differently, DES is a disorder caused by lack of sufficient airflow in the paranasal sinuses that cools the heat in the cornea. Subsequently, the untreated heat dries up the tears and strains the surrounding muscles, causing the entire eye to be tired.

 

Some DES patients apply hot packs on their eyes to increase the blood flow in the region, but this must be discouraged. The tiredness in the eyes is caused by the heat. For the sake of the eyes, heat must not be used to treat the eyes. The heat that circulating blood can carry away is much smaller than the amount of heat applied by a hot pack, bringing no benefit to the eyes at the end. Staying long in a sauna not only fails to offer help, but it aggravates the condition. Applying a cold-pack, therefore, is much more preferable. The heat has been captured in the eyes for a prolonged period, which is a condition induced by blocked sinuses. One of the best self-remedies to cool off the heat is applying a cold-pack.

Self- Care Remedies for Your Nasal Problems (Sinusitis, Rhinitis, Congestion)

Development of Self-Care Remedies for Sinusitis

 

It has been 20 year since I began my practice specializing in nasal disorders. For my patients, I introduced self-care remedies after they receive treatment. This is simple but very effective in treating your nose. I recommend this method for those who visit my blog, if you suffer from chronic sinusitis.

 

The first one is nasal irrigation. Among rhinitis and sinusitis patients, there were many patients who effectively manage their condition by flushing their nasal cavity, yielding better results than medications. This, however, requires persistence practices.

 

Nasal Irrigation

 

It is recommended for patients who suffer from nasal congestion and post nasal drip. Just as washing your face or brushing your teeth, it cleanses your mucous membrane of the nose. So we could say, this is tantamount to "washing the nose," in a tactful way. Practicing this, it helps clearing the nasal passages that was blocked with mucus, which caused difficulty breathing or swallowing into the backside of the throat. Along with mucus, other micro-organisms, fungus, dust and other irritants can be washed away at the same time, preventing the nasal condition from worsening and maintain in good condition.

 

Three Methods of Nasal Irrigation

 

There are many ways to do this. However, the most cost-effective and easiest will be introduced here. Firstly, stand over a sink.

 

➊ Prepare a cup of salt water at lukewarm temperature.

Pouring plain cold water into the nose can cause stingy sensation. It is similar as swimming pool water get into your nose. But lukewarm water that replicates mucus' natural salinity does not irritate the nasal mucosa as much. Once you get adjusted, the salinity level may not matter much.

 

➋ While you are standing in front of the sink, pour warm salt water into one side of the nose. Alternate the side, while pinching the other side to close.

 

➌ Try the salt water pour into your nose to come out through your mouth.

You could, however, adjust the amount of water pouring into your nose to drain out of your other nostril, instead of your mouth. As you gain experience, you may be able to pass the water into the mouth more easily. You should spit the water out in your mouth.

 

➍ Repeat the procedure several times.

 

Here is another method.

 

➊ Hold a mouthful of salt water in your mouth.

 

➋ Tilt your head forward, so that your forehead is positioned lower than the mouth.

 

➌ Block one side of the nose and make a, "mmmm" sound, inducing the water in the mouth to run through the nasal passages.

 

➍ Continuing the sound moves the water to follow the resonance, exiting trough the mouth. This can be done in seconds without wetting your face once you get used to it.

The last method requires a bulb syringe that you can purchase from a pharmacy.

 

➊ Fill a syringe with warm salt water.

 

➋ Tilt your head so that one nostril is pointed down toward the sink and insert the tip of the syringe into your nose.

 

➌ Gently squeeze the syringe.

 

The salt water goes into the nose and drains out the same way and exits to the sink. Occasionally, some portion of the water passes through the other side of the nose. Any water that goes to the back of the throat should be spit out.

 

➍ Repeat on the other side in the same way.

 

Hopefully these methods will help you treat your nasal problems. I feel environment is connected to a human body. Where you live is closely connected to your health, thinking and way of living. If you love the nature around you then you will receive love from them. The increasing number of patients who suffer from nasal problems has a lot to do with environmental pollution.

 

Correlation of Environmental Pollution and Allergic Rhinitis

Correlation of Environmental Pollution, Earthquakes and Your Allergic Rhinitis


Watching the news late at night, I heard there was an earthquake in Taiwan. It had earthquakes last month, right? A few weeks ago, there was an earthquake of magnitude of 7 something in Vanuatu.
Earthquakes are a way of breathing for Earth in order to create a hole on earth. However, frequent earthquakes like nowadays have a lot to do with environmental pollution, I think. As the land for the Earth to breath gets smaller thanks to rash exploitation of the land, water and air, she causes earthquakes

As the body is also on one organic system, so does the Earth. Actually all living things are whether they are animals or plants are all alive. If you recognize the fact, you cannot just ignore even a small
living thing. Many patients visiting my clinic suffering from allergic rhinitis could not be found many when I was growing up. I believe it has a lot to do with air pollution. As the air is polluted, people's respiratory system got weakened.

The best way is to live in a clean area away from pollution. If you cannot do so, I recommend you to live on a vegetarian diet with brown rice. I myself becamesa vegetarian for this reason 5 years ago.
So people call me veggie doctor as well. = )

 

 

Treating Allergic Rhinitis and Atrophic Rhinitis Using Acupuncture

 

Either of acute and chronic rhinitis can be treated with drawing blood from the nasal mucous membranes using acupuncture

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inflammation caused by allergic rhinitis is not confined to the membrane lining of the nose, but it is a systematic condition inducing itchiness and discomfort in other parts of the body, including the eyes, conjunctiva, throat, inner ear and even anus. Therefore, treating the nose alone does not improve the condition. Subsequently, people must be mindful of changing their physical constitution through what they have on their table. Unless its symptoms are severe, a careful selection of what you eat can drive out the symptoms from the body. So, this case, I recommend patients to practice vegetarian diet.

 

The 3 common major symptoms of allergic rhinitis are transparent nasal discharge, sneezing and nasal congestion. However, clinical judgment being made during treatment is based on the severity of the sneezing. The frequency of sneezing subsides as the treatment progresses.

 

The dryness caused by under low secretion in the nasal mucosa and slight bleeding when blowing the nose are the symptoms atrophic rhinitis patients experience. Scatter-pricking the membranes reinvigorate their functions. Some constantly apply ointment, however this is not a fundamental approach.

 

The pricking therapy that rejuvenates the membranes is also applicable to other parts of the body.

 

Atrophic rhinitis patients may not feel the dryness in the entire nasal cavity. In observation, the entrance of the nasal cavity tends to be dry due to the atrophy and the membranes in the rear part of the nasal cavity are inflamed, causing excessive secretion. This type of rhinitis, therefore, exhibits both symptoms at the same time but both are treatable using the same pricking treatment in the nasal mucosa.

 

 

Let me introduce a treatment case:

 

    A lady, close to sixty-years of age, with typical allergic rhinitis came to visit. Her sneezing came to ceases after 1 to 2 hours of constant sneezing in the morning and evening.

 

     It had been over five years bearing the agony and she abstained herself from taking medicines for the condition. She experienced intense headaches as a side effect from the medications. She demonstrated amazing patience on her first visit; I was able to thoroughly prick the membranes of the nasal cavity.

 

    Unlikely chronic rhinitis, which only needs to prick the most swollen region to treat the condition, allergic rhinitis requires the entire nasal mucosa to be pricked. The hypersensitive conditions can be improved by exhaustive pricking, as if every cell in the nasal mucosa needs to be cared for. The patient's cooperation to the treatment brought near-to-perfect cure. She occasionally visits the clinic to receive acupuncture to treat her infrequent sneezing.
