Over three million Americans suffer from dry eye syndrome. This disease results from the eye not producing enough tears to adequately cover the eye surface. Tears, also known as aqueous fluid, protect the eye from outside irritants, maintain ocular health, and aid in light refraction. Damage or disruption to any of the three major layers of the tear film (the inner mucin, middle aqueous, and outer lipid layer) can cause dry eye disorder. The most common symptoms of dry eye are:
Itchy or gritty eyes
Burning
Discoloration or redness
Crusty lashes
Puffiness
Light sensitivity
Blurry vision
Natural Dry Eye Relief Alternatives
While there are many medical treatments for dry eye, including eye drops, tear-inducing medications, nasal sprays, and eye inserts, it’s important to note that these traditional procedures come with their own set of drawbacks. They can be costly, cause side effects, and are often inconvenient. Considering these disadvantages, it’s completely understandable if you’re seeking a more natural and less disruptive approach to managing your dry eye symptoms.
Boost your intake of Omega 3 and vitamins A, B12, and D
Stay hydrated
Moderate sugar and alcohol levels
Quit smoking
Avoid food intolerances
Probiotics for Natural Dry Eye Relief
Recent scientific probiotics research reveals that gut flora, the complex community of microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of humans, is pivotal in promoting or controlling disease states, including dry eye. For example, the study Probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 suppresses corneal barrier dysfunction and conjunctival goblet cell reduction in mice subjected to desiccating stress by Laura Schafer, Stephen C. Pflugfelder, Robert Britton, and Cintia S. De Paiva ( https://iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2786228) has demonstrated how probiotic treatment effectively reduces or eliminates dry eye issues, along with the discarding the annoying disadvantages of traditional treatments.
Following the results of these studies in dry eye relief and probiotics, CyDexa™ Probiotics was developed by a Board-Certified Ophthalmologist to aid people suffering from dry eye blepharitis and related eye conditions. CyDexa’s proprietary formula is a blend of probiotics, including Lactobacillus reuteri, which has been studied and found to produce positive results in the relief of dry eye symptoms. The result is that CyDexa™ restores the homeostatic balance of the gut microbiome with probiotics, providing a cost-effective, convenient, and natural answer to dry eye symptoms. This means you can manage your dry eye condition without the inconvenience and high costs associated with traditional treatments.
