Dry eye disease occurs when tears aren't able to provide adequate moisture to the eyes, leading to changes in tear chemistry and compromised ocular surfaces. Common causes include aging, menopause, certain drugs, diseases that affect tear production, and eyelid or tear duct issues. Symptoms include burning, itching, aching, fatigue, dryness, redness, photosensitivity, and blurred vision. Treatment depends on the type and severity of dry eyes and may include warm compresses, intense pulse light, gland expression, lid hygiene, artificial tears, eye drops, or systemic medications.

Eye dryness
Eye dryness is a common condition in which there is insufficient tears to lubricate and nourish the eyes.
Eye
This document provides guidance for ophthalmological emergencies from the perspective of the Bromley Accident and Emergency Department. It outlines the history, examination, investigations, and common complaints for eye issues. It describes various conditions that can cause vision changes like blurred vision or sudden loss of vision. It also discusses eye pain, discomfort, and trauma. Finally, it provides guidance on when to refer different eye conditions immediately, very urgently, urgently, or for high priority outpatient treatment.
Watery eyes
Dry eye syndrome is a common cause of watery eyes, occurring when eyes dry out and become irritated, stimulating excess tear production. Allergens like pollen can also cause watery eyes by provoking an immune response and irritation. Eye infections sometimes result in watery eyes as the body produces extra tears to flush out germs. Other irritants in the environment like smoke or chemicals may similarly trigger watery eyes. For mild cases, over-the-counter artificial tears or allergy drops can help, but seeing an ophthalmologist is recommended if watering is prolonged or accompanied by other eye issues like redness or pain.
Glaucoma its all about eyes
Glaucoma refers to a group of eye related disorders that all lead to damage to the optic nerve that transfers information from the eye to the brain. Glaucoma usually has few or no initial indications.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve and can cause blindness, usually due to abnormally high pressure in the eye. It is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over 60. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type and causes gradual vision loss, while acute angle-closure glaucoma is a medical emergency with symptoms like severe headache, eye pain, nausea, and blurred vision. Glaucoma has no symptoms in early stages so regular eye exams are important, especially for those with risk factors like high eye pressure, age over 60, family history, or certain medical conditions.
Causes and Symptoms of Glaucoma in Dogs
Dr. Joel Todd Leroy Prince is a veterinarian who has treated many cases of glaucoma in dogs. Glaucoma occurs when the eye produces more fluid than it can drain, leading to increased pressure inside the eye. If not treated by reducing the pressure, glaucoma will cause vision loss. Symptoms can include a red eye, cloudy cornea, abnormal pupil size or response to light, bulging or recessed eyeball, blinking, head rubbing, and discomfort. A veterinarian can test for glaucoma by measuring intraocular pressure.
alchohol and eye by optom faslu muhammed
Alcohol consumption can have both short-term and long-term effects on vision and eye health. In the short-term, alcohol slows pupil reactions, decreases contrast sensitivity and peripheral vision, causes eyelid twitching and dry eyes. Long-term effects include increased risk of cataracts, optic neuropathy, and vitamin deficiencies that can damage the eyes. Prenatal alcohol exposure also increases risks for the baby. Moderation is key to avoiding issues, with complete abstinence the safest option.

Treatment of dry eye syndrome
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition affecting around 50% of LASIK patients that can decrease satisfaction with the procedure's outcomes. Artificial tears were administered on a tapering schedule over 90 days to treat dry eye symptoms. Variables like corneal staining, conjunctival staining, tear break-up time, and Schirmer test were measured. Treatment for dry eye may include artificial tears, ointment, humidification, punctal plugs, oral pilocarpine, or topical cyclosporine. Women are affected by dry eye more commonly than men, and it is a frequent complication of Sjögren's syndrome.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition caused by excessive fluid pressure in the eyes that can damage the optic nerve and lead to blindness if left untreated. The two most common types are open-angle glaucoma, where fluid fails to drain properly from the eye over time, and angle-closure glaucoma, where the drainage angle is blocked. Symptoms often do not appear until permanent damage has occurred. While there is no cure, treatments exist to lower pressure and prevent further vision loss.
Vision disorder
The document discusses visual disability, impairment, and blindness. It defines visual disorder, disability, and impairment, and notes the types of blindness include partial and complete. Partial blindness means limited vision, while complete blindness means inability to see anything. Causes can be systemic like diabetes or specific eye conditions. Treatment involves visual aids, corrective lenses, smart canes, screen magnifiers, Braille keyboards, controlling underlying conditions, occupational therapy, and surgery.
Top 10 EYE related problems
Presbyopia, floaters, and dry eyes are some of the most common eye problems. Presbyopia causes difficulty seeing close objects and is usually corrected with reading glasses. Floaters are spots that float in vision and could indicate a serious problem if their appearance changes suddenly. Dry eyes occur when the tear glands do not produce enough tears, sometimes requiring surgery for more severe cases. Other common eye issues include cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disorders, conjunctivitis, corneal diseases, and eyelid problems. Many of these conditions can impact vision if not properly diagnosed and treated.
Ocular pharmacology
The eye is a complex sensory organ responsible for sight. Injury or disease to the ocular system can result in vision loss. A variety of ophthalmic preparations (topical, parenteral, and oral) are available for both therapeutic and diagnostic use. Medications play a key role in the management of chronic dry-eye, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, infection, inflammation, and macular degeneration

Holmes adie syndrome
Holmes adie syndrome is a neurological disorder that affects the pupil of the eye and the autonomic nervous system.
DRY EYE
Dry eye is a multifactorial disease characterized by loss of tear film homeostasis and accompanied by ocular symptoms. It involves tear film instability, hyperosmolarity, ocular surface inflammation, and neurosensory abnormalities. It can be caused by aqueous deficiency, evaporative loss, or external diseases like Sjogren's syndrome. Diagnosis involves assessing risk factors, tear film parameters, ocular staining, and questionnaires. Treatment is staged based on disease severity and may include lifestyle modifications, lubricants, anti-inflammatories, punctal plugs, and in severe cases amniotic membrane grafts or surgery.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition that damages the eye's optic nerve, caused by a buildup of pressure inside the eye. Increased pressure can damage the optic nerve over time and cause permanent vision loss or blindness. Early signs include loss of peripheral vision and seeing halos around lights. Most types of glaucoma do not have symptoms until severe damage has occurred, making it a "sneak thief of vision." Treatment options range from eye drops and oral medication to laser surgery or microsurgery depending on the type and severity of glaucoma. Regular exercise may help lower eye pressure for glaucoma patients.
Krishna kumar glucoma
Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss and blindness if not treated early. It is usually caused by abnormally high pressure inside the eye, which over time can erode the optic nerve tissue. While some types cause pain and other symptoms, primary open-angle glaucoma typically has no signs or symptoms until vision is impaired, making regular eye exams important. Risk factors include increasing age, family history, eye injuries or conditions, and certain medical issues like diabetes. Treatment options include eye drop medications and surgeries to manage pressure and prevent further damage.
smoking and eye problems by optom faslu muhammed
Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, including the eyes. It is linked to numerous vision and eye problems such as dry eyes, uveitis, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and infant eye diseases. Smokers have an increased risk of developing many serious eye conditions and are more likely to experience vision loss. Quitting smoking at any age can significantly reduce the risk of eye diseases.

Smoking and eye diseases
Smoking can have detrimental effects on eyes and is directly linked to leading causes of vision loss like cataracts and macular degeneration. Countless studies show smokers are 3 times more likely to develop cataracts than non-smokers, and the risk increases with the amount smoked. Smoking also increases the risk of macular degeneration by 2-4 times compared to non-smokers, and passive smokers face increased risk as well. In addition to cataracts and macular degeneration, smoking is linked to other eye problems like diabetic retinopathy, dry eyes, optic nerve damage, and lazy eye. Quitting smoking can help reduce risks to eye health over time, though ex-smokers still face

Early Detection Of Eye Diseases
There are several eye diseases called "silent thieves" of eyesight that don't cause symptoms but can permanently damage vision if not caught early. These include glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Glaucoma is when optic nerve damage occurs without symptoms, often discovered during routine eye exams after age 40. Diabetic retinopathy damages blood vessels in the retina from diabetes and can cause vision loss if not treated with lasers early on. Macular degeneration and cataracts are also common age-related eye diseases that gradually impact central vision if not diagnosed and managed promptly. Early detection through regular eye exams is important to prevent vision loss from these "silent thieves" of eyesight.
Common Ocular Diseases (World Glaucoma Day)
General public should know a little bit about diseases of the eyes and how to care for them. This presentation gives a overview of glaucoma (targeting World Glaucoma Day) and comom eye diseases.
Congenital Glucoma
Glaucoma is a group of ocular conditions characterized by optic nerve damage. The optic nerve damage is related to the IOP caused by congestion of aqueous humor in the eye.
Congenital glaucoma is a rare form of glaucoma. Affected infants may be born with a high intraocular pressure or may develop an increased IOP within the “first weeks of life".
DryEye
Dry eye is a common condition that affects an estimated 10 million Americans. It occurs when tears lack sufficient moisture and lubrication needed for clear vision and good eye health. Common causes of dry eye include aging, certain medical conditions and medications, environmental factors like smoke exposure, contact lens usage, and heavy makeup that blocks tear glands. Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, tuna, and mackerel can help reduce inflammation and increase tear production to ease dry eye symptoms. Artificial tears, ointments, and supplements can also be used to treat dry eye, but consulting an eye doctor is recommended for proper diagnosis and treatment.
The effects that alcohol can have on our eyes
Alcohol can have both short-term and long-term effects on eyes. Short-term effects include dry eyes, decreased sensitivity to contrast at night, and slower pupil reaction. Long-term effects include higher risks of cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and fetal alcohol syndrome in pregnant women. Heavy drinking over time can also lead to vitamin deficiencies and optic neuropathy due to nerve damage.

Dry eyes
Tears are a complex mixture that helps lubricate and protect the eyes. When the eyes are not properly lubricated due to conditions like dry eye, excess tears may run down the cheeks as the eyes attempt to compensate for the lack of moisture. However, these tears are mostly water and do not have the same rich composition as normal tears, so they do not properly coat the eyes. Dry eye can be caused by problems with the tear film layers, decreased tear production due to various medical conditions or aging, eyelid issues that impair blinking, certain medications, and environmental factors like wind and computer use. Symptoms of dry eye include pain, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. Treatments include artificial tears, punctal plugs to

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
