Ocular surface disorders are managed following a protocol that consists in carrying out an accurate eye examination, in the performance of <strong>tear film\u2019s tests<\/strong> and, if required, <strong>laboratory testing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Studio Italiano di Oftalmologia is among the very few eye clinic in Italy to have the &#8220;TearLab&#8221; system for the objective diagnosis of dry eye disease and monitoring of therapy.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_accordion active_tab=&#8221;false&#8221; collapsible=&#8221;yes&#8221; title_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; style=&#8221;3&#8243;][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Dry eye&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1542383236601{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]The ocular surface is kept moist by the production of tears by lacrimal glands. The tear film is distributed uniformly on the ocular surface, providing nourishment of the cornea and keeping clear vision.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>tear film<\/strong> consists of three layers: the mucous layer, the aqueous layer and the lipid layer. When the eye is unable to produce the tear fluid properly or sufficiently, then it begins to suffer a series of symptoms and signs that are enclosed in the \u201c<strong>dry eye syndrome<\/strong>\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;52163&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<small><em>The tear film <\/em><\/small>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;51844&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<small><em>The lacrimal glands<\/em><\/small>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Diagnosis of dry eye&#8221;][vc_column_text]The symptoms of <strong>dry eye<\/strong> may include ocular <strong>foreign body sensation<\/strong>, <strong>burning sensation<\/strong>, <strong>ocular itching<\/strong> and <strong>ocular redness<\/strong>. Generally, tear production is reduced with aging. There are, however, some systemic diseases that can cause dry eye such as hyperthyroidism and Sjogren&#8217;s syndrome. Some medications, including beta-blockers, diuretics and antihistamines, can also cause dry eye.<\/p>\n<p>Some diagnostic tests, such as the <strong>Schirmer test<\/strong> or the <strong>B.U.T. test<\/strong> or the \u201cTearLab\u201d system help the eye doctor to quantify the severity of the disease and to follow its evolution and response to therapy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Dry eye therapy&#8221;][vc_column_text]The therapy is aimed at increasing the amount of the tear film or improving its quality and stability on the ocular surface. In mild cases, <strong>ocular discomfort<\/strong> can be fixed in the majority of cases by the <strong>continuous use of artificial tears<\/strong> or by the closure of the lower lacrimal dot. When severe inflammatory signs occur, dry eye syndrome may be responsible for corneal degeneration resulting in opacification of the cornea and drastic reduction in visual acuity. In these cases, it will be necessary to prescribe cycles of anti-inflammatory drugs and, if necessary, to surgery to save the ocular surface.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advanced diagnostics and treatment of ocular surface\u2019s disorders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":52164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","dt_portfolio_category":[281],"dt_portfolio_tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.4 -
