Dry, burning,
red, and
fatigued eyes?
Dry Eyes
Do your eyes burn, are they scratchy or itchy? Nowadays, more than 20% of the world’s population suffer from Dry Eyes, 40% of whom wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. The signs are diverse and triggered by the strain of our modern lifestyles. And this is where the eye service comes in: This innovative method not only eliminates eye pain, but also the cause of the problem, and thus helps achieve long-term improvement.
What causes Dry Eyes?
Tear film damaged
Dry Eyes result mostly from damage to the tear film – more specifically, from a dysfunction of the meibomian glands. These glands secrete lipids (a fat-containing secretion) to the tear film that prevent the evaporation of the lacrimal fluid. If the meibomian glands function only to a limited extent, not enough lacrimal fluid will be produced or too much lacrimal fluid will be evaporated.

Negative environmental influences
The stimulus satiation caused by electronic media has increased massively in recent years. In addition, the dysfunction of the meibomian glands is triggered by a number of negative environmental factors.
This dysfunction is triggered by negative environmental influences. The causes of Dry Eye syndrome include, e.g.:
о intensive work at computers
о pollution
о aging process
о eye surgery
о diet
о dry indoor air
о hormone imbalances
о pharmaceutical drugs
о contact lenses
This dysfunction is triggered by negative environmental influences. The causes of Dry Eye syndrome include, e.g.:
- intensive work at computer terminals
- pollution
- aging process
- eye surgery
- diet
- dry indoor air
- hormone imbalances
- pharmaceutical drugs
- contact lenses
The troubles are manifold.
What problems are encountered?
Dry, burning, itchy, sticky, red, permanently fatigued, and – paradoxically – also watery eyes are signs of Dry Eyes. Also problems with wearing contact lenses and pronounced sensitivity to light can occur.
Stinging and sandy eyes
Enlarged veins
Constant watering
Sensitivity to light
Limited vision
Problems when wearing contact lenses
Blepharospasm
What to do against Dry Eyes?
Prevention makes sense!
The eye service combats the causes of Dry Eyes, but it also prevents any issues in everyday visual comfort – it comes in even before any eye pain can develop. This is why the application also makes sense for children who, due to their heavy use of electronic media, are part of the risk group. The eye service ensures that such eye health problems will not develop in the first place.
