Dry Eye Home Remedy - A Natural Safe and Effective Treatment

Here's a rough overview of what's in the book:

Part I: Understanding dry eye disorders

Chapters 1-3 are an introduction to what the tear film is all about and what goes wrong with it and why; and descriptions of the exam process and basic diagnostic tests. Chapter 4 covers the use of over-the-counter lubricants.

Part II: Restoring your eye health at home

Here's the real meat. Chapters 5-7 help you review your environment, activities, lifestyle and nutrition and identify a great many ways you can better care for your eyes ranging from humidification and eyewear to nutritional supplements and a lot in between.

Chapter 8 (the "Home Eye Spa") basically amounts to detailed instructions for babying your meibomian glands on a daily basis with lid hygiene, heat treatment and so on. If you've ever wondered what the heck a "lid scrub" is really meant to be and whether you're doing it right, you'll be carrying the book into the bathroom to look at the diagrams while you get the Q-tips out.

Part III: Beyond the home eye spa

Chapters 9-12 cover drugs (Restasis in detail; then walks through all the main categories of drugs with dry eye as a side effect); hormone therapy; punctal plugs and cautery; and some surgeries.

Part IV: Finding the dry eye therapy that works for you

Chapter 13 basically sorts and labels all us dry eye patients into 6 different categories ("first-time", "stymied", "just-fix-me", etc.). I have to say it's a pretty astute description of what we're like, and most of us will easily recognize our box! Anyway, then it presents a practical treatment approach geared for each group, drawing on a variety of medical and/or natural treatments depending on the needs, preferences and tolerances of each group

Chapter 14 starts with a discussion of the need for, and signs of, increasing public awareness, and ends with a brief overview of new drugs in the pipeline and other ongoing scientific developments.
