ALGORITHM IN THE TREATMENT OF DRY EYE
Dry eye impairs quality of life. There are 1.5 billion dry eye patients in the world. The most prescribed drug is eye dry medicine. Due to the lack of time allocated to the patient, patients do not get the results they expect. He cannot provide the comfort he desires. Most foreign book entries have the text “Choosing a Physician”. If you cannot choose the doctor for various reasons, the first mistake starts here. We go to the doctor with the advice of someone. Again, unfortunately, we have to go doctor to doctor. When there is no treatment, the patient seeks another doctor. In recent years, different applications have started in the treatment of dry eye.
What is algorithm?
Algorithm is to produce a solution on a subject or to make plans to reach the target. In recent years, “Doctor who applies algorithm” recommendations for different diseases have started. These are specialized in some diseases, deepened in knowledge and equipment. Do you believe that such a planning has been made or will be done with a 5-minute examination? You do not believe.
*A different doctor on every visit…
*Is the disease in his area of interest?
* The most serious problem is the lack of time allocated to the patient.
Eye dryness is the most beautiful algorithm application area. There are so many details in dry eye that if you give and send dry eye drops, that patient will not get better. The fact that many studies have been done does not indicate that a good treatment will be given. Experience and equipment are also important. You should definitely consult an experienced and well-equipped doctor who will spare a lot of time for you.
How to apply algorithm in dry eye?
* First, the functioning of the tear gland must be ensured. There are many systemic diseases and drug-dry eye, it should be investigated and directed to the relevant branch if necessary.
Production failure is determined by the Schirmer test. If production is insufficient;
* Production should be increased,
* Situations that reduce production should be eliminated.
If the tear production is sufficient, there are different applications.
* The quality of the tears should be increased, the mucin, aqueous (water) and oil balance should be established, the density (osmolarity) should be regulated, the functioning of the meibomius and auxiliary sebaceous glands should be maintained. MGX application is important… Eyelash root inflammation should be kept under control. The demodex follicularis lice at the base of the eyelashes should not be forgotten… Patients with watery eyes but dry eyes are another problem. The tears flow and do not stay in the eye. Procedures should be performed to trap the eye in the eye. Do not think that you can solve the problem with eye drops. Do not deceive your eyes with eye drops.
