This book provides information on dry eyes invaluble not found elsewhere for the layman. He explains in easily readable and understandable to both physical and emotional effects that can cause this condition. I developed dry eyes three years ago following eye surgery. I had several eye surgeries have really bad results, and I saw many doctors. trying to find help for my dry eyes. When I started the book by Dr. Maskin, I noticed after a few pages that I had finally found someone that the state and the pain, frustration and effects are understood in their own lives. Maskin said Dr. well have several causes, what to look for, treatment and ways to manage dry eye, and vice versa.
Fortunately, I live in the same state as Mr. Maskin and made and appt. When I read the book. He diagnosed a condition that the other Dr I have seen, was never even mentioned. My state requires a breakthrough operation, which has a few eye surgeons, has foreshadowed a procedure Dr. Maskin specialize, I had excellent results on gradually return to normal life was.
The book is a “God Send” for me. This book should be recommended by physicians as a resource for their patients with dry eye symptoms….
Awards to M . Maskin for his interest and commitment to this state and writing this book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Book Review: Reversing Dry Eye Syndrome: Practical Means for your comfort, vision and appearance (Yale University Press, 2007) Increase of Steven L. Maskin, MD
Do you have dry eyes? Apparently, nearly 5 million of us in the United States. Moderate cases are estimated 20-30 million people. Common in those over 50 years Group – 7 8% of women and 4 7% of men are affected. If left untreated, dry eye or dry eye syndrome, may cause more eye problems, including blindness. Let the tear (lacrimal) glands under the eyelids do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly because of their own composition.
Dr. Steven Maskin, author of the reversible dry eye syndrome, says that dry eye syndrome is painful. Symptoms often start gently and progress:
Achy and sore eyes
redness, inflammation
;
Scratchy, rough and gritty feeling
feeling of something in the eye
burning, tingling, itching frquently

I have a bit of dry eye syndrome at regular intervals through the lens of reading, had, and use computers, but not really thought much about him until my friend had LASIK. He is a doctor, the emergency room to be happy out of his time. The need to see through a mask under the water without contact lenses leads to worry about LASIK surgery and a severe case of dry eye. With lubricating drops often the standard treatment in the United States and Europe, his condition slowly improved. In addition to detection and treatment for serious cases include drugs, surgery, administrative procedures, and carry moisture.
What to do at home? Recent studies show that increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids will improve the situation, perhaps by 68% for women. Choose salmon, tuna, sardines and other cold water fish fat. Drink plenty of water and reduce your intake of caffeine. Caffeine, a diuretic, stimulates the body to remove water, while the body of water hydrates. Rubbing his eyes, but stain with a clean cloth. Identify load, check-in at the allergist, an unknown dry eye problem.

Find “Reversing Dry Eye Syndrome” has been a boon to my dilemma eye. After more than a year of treatment with several ophthalmologists, and when I (always unsuccessfully) their recommendations for eye drops, has been punctual plugs, Restasis, and so on, this book as an oasis in the desert. I even to the point where I thought I need my pain and discomfort. After reading this book, and implementation work, there were others like me – and the potential for a marked improvement in my symptoms – I called Dr. Office Maskin and made an appointment for a consultation. I have only two operations since November and, finally, I want as “my old self” again! Dr. Maskin is my hero. Please make it a Christmas very special for me!

I congratulate the author for writing an opinion, intelligent short, readable, optimistic these pesky health problem. Patients who are newly diagnosed or have not yet been fully studied because of their dry eye problems, absolutely must buy this book. That said, for someone like me who have already consulted ophthalmologists, I am aware of my diagnosis and I read many articles on the Internet, almost all the known information. Occlusion However, I still found a nugget of information (ie, Punctal with a burning process is reversible, and may be beneficial Punctal plugs) may be important for my future treatment. That alone was worth the price of the book, because my eye doctor had never discussed this option. The book also contains a practical overview of the bewildering variety of OTC eye drops and some good memories of changes in style of life that may be of great use. As each person with dry eyes first go to an ophthalmologist to get a correct diagnosis, I love books like this because doctors are using these days so little time, you and explain all the strategies and treatment options can be useful. After that, some years ago, this book would be very useful for me is a perfect example of why a small investment can sometimes be more valuable than a series of medical appointments.
