Severe Chronic Dry Eyes- Relief by TheraLife Eye,

I’m 48 years old and have suffered from dry eyes for six years. I tried everything. Nothing seemed to work for me.
I was very skeptical about this product since nothing seemed to work for me.

But I was amazed by this treatment. After two weeks, my eyes were feeling so much better. The pain was gone, my eyes were not nearly as dry, and even the redness improved.

I recommend this product to anyone that suffers from dry eyes.
Thank you TheraLife for making a product that actually works.

Best and Worst Places to Live For Dry Eyes

While dry eyes can strike anyone at any time in any location, there are some places that are simply more likely to see victims suffer from dry eye problems than others.  In general, places that are located in very high altitudes or have hot and dry climates are the most likely places to see large numbers of dry eye sufferers.

Fortunately, TheraLife can help your dry eye problems no matter where you live. If you are suffering from chronic dry eyes, read on to learn more.

What Tears Do?

Tears keep the eyes smooth and wet. They help you see clearly by focusing light. They are also essential as they protect your eyes from irritants and infections. Every moment you blink, the surface of your cornea fills up with a tear film. You get dry eyes when your eyes do not make enough tears.

Tiny, solid particles in air pollution, dust, and smoke can lodge themselves in your tear film, the moist layer of tears that coats your eye. This means the tear film is less able to keep your eye lubricated, which makes your eyes feel dry.

You can use your prescription eye drops, e.g. Restasis, Xiidra with TheraLife Eye capsules

High Altitude and Dry Eyes

While the coastal areas of the United States often lie at or slightly above sea level, there are many locations throughout the country that are at very high altitudes.  Examples of very high altitude locations in the United States include:

• Leadville, CO—10,152 feet.  At more than 10,000 feet above sea level, Leadville is officially the highest city in the United States.  Some parts of the town around Winter Park climb to more than 12,000 feet.

• Brian Head, UT—9,800 feet.  With the Town Offices elevated more than 9,500 feet, Brian Head is one of the nation’s highest permanent settlements.

• Taos Ski Valley, NM—9,321 feet.  Taos is a popular ski resort that lies well above 9,000 feet above sea level.

• Greer, AZ—8,356 feet.  This unincorporated town, located in the White Mountains of Arizona, is a small city but still populated year-round.

High altitude seems to contribute to dry eyes in two ways.  First, the air pressure decreases as you climb higher, which means that it is harder to get oxygen into your lungs and through your body.  As your body struggles to compensate, all extraneous body functions, including producing tears, tend to decrease.

Second, at high altitude, less atmospheric pressure, the air is drier, less moisture.  Liquids evaporate faster because the boiling point of liquids is lower when atmospheric pressure decrease.  Tear tends to evaporate quickly, and your body has to produce more tears to keep up.

Hot, Dry Climates and Dry Eyes

People who live in hot, dry climates may also experience problems with dry eyes.  The desert communities in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada are good examples of this type of climate, where daytime temperatures can climb to nearly 115º F and where average rainfall is less than 10 inches per year. 

The lack of humidity in the air, rather than the temperature itself, is what makes this type of climate so unforgiving to those with dry eyes.

Using a humidifier in your home and workplace especially during the winter months, is very helpful to lessen dry eye symptoms. Keep the humidity between 40 and 50%. Avoid environmental stresses that worsen dry eye, such as low humidity, drafts from air conditioners or fans, smoke, dust, or excessive makeup.

lifestyle change to help remind you to take a break from your screen. The rule is that every 20 minutes, you should look at something which is 20 feet away, for 20 seconds or more. This can be applied when working or watching TV, and numerous studies have found that it’s successful in alleviating Dry Eye symptoms as a result of too much screen time.

Best climate for Sjogren’s Syndrome

Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease where chronic dry eye, dry mouth, are hallmark symptoms. Best places for live for Sjogren’s syndrome would be a mild climate with a high humidity climate.

For example, California for the mild climate and use humidifiers in doors. Florida for high humidity during fall and winter months.

Caution in using artificial tears for dry eye relieve

Artificial tears wash away the natural lubricants your eyes produce making your eyes drier. This applies to eye drops that are preservative free, gel eye drops and artificial tears that takes the red out.
