Product Description
IMPROVE YOUR VISION, REDUCE WRINKLES AND REDNESS, AND RESTORE OVERALL EYE HEALTH

It can happen any time. Your eyes feel tired. You rub them. You look at yourself in the mirror and see lines, wrinkles, bags, redness that were never there before. Dry eye often starts as a minor irritation but can develop into a deeper problem affecting your vision and appearance.

Approximately 77 million Americans suffer from dry eye (also known as
dysfunctional tear syndrome). And traditional solutions, such as eyedrops and eyelid surgery, may actually make the problem worse.

The Dry Eye Remedy is the first book to give dry eye sufferers simple and
practical ways to restore eye health and appearance without surgery. Robert Latkany, M.D., offers:
• an innovative Home Eye Spa program with a soothing eye-cleansing massage
• easy environmental and lifestyle changes to help you look and feel better
• cutting-edge research on which medications and procedures may help and which to avoid.

The Dry Eye Remedy is an essential tool to ensure there is “not a dry eye in the house.”

This Book Explains Dry Eye June 3, 2009
Sandra A. Neary (La Pine, OR)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The book has very good examples of the various types and causes of dry eye, and good suggestions as to home treatments. I found this book very helpful and am better able to understand my doctor's concern.

Well worth the modest purchase price! May 3, 2009

Ideally, of course, each of us should have a local, knowledgeable, expert-re-dry-eye doctor to help us deal with (itchy/red/painful/contact lens intolerant/post-Lasik, etc.) ocular problems. But in the absence of such heroes, this is a remarkably useful written resource.

A few of its specific product lists are becoming a smidge out-of-date as new products are hitting the market yearly. However, it is well-written BY a doctor, and well-explained -- specifically focused for a LAYPERSON audience.

Dry Eye Help April 18, 2009
Dee K (Ohio)
This is the book I'd been waiting for - for years. It takes a systematic approach to figuring out how and why one's eyes are "dry" (a catchall phrase that lumps a number of conditions together). From there it provides a number of good suggestions for moving beyond being one who suffers dry eyes to becoming one who survives, heals, and takes control of the condition.

I found this book thru the dry eye zone website where one can also find much help and support.

One of the best books I've ever purchased.

Essential reading for dry eye patients December 26, 2008
A.B. (Yonkers, NY, USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Pros:
-It offers comprehensive and up-to-date info (as of the date of its publication) about the latest in dry eyes.
-It offers all-around practical advice to dry eye patients who may have otherwise lost hope.
-The depth in which the topics are covered seems just right for most patients.

Minor cons:
-Artificial tears (such as most Genteal brands) that contain special non-irritating or disappearing preservatives were not emphasized strongly enough. IMO, such drops are better than those that are entirely without preservatives, because preservatives after all do serve a useful and obvious function. Drops without preservatives often come in single-use vials and are therefore harder to deal with if you want to reuse them for cost effectiveness.
-Alleged homeopathic remedies are presented in a largely neutral or optimistic view, but the scientific fact is that homeopathic drugs are bogus and don't really have any medical effect beyond that of placebo. As such, the book was somewhat complacent towards homeopathy, and I feel that this takes away from proper scientifically or empirically sound remedies.
-There are a few minor typos that seem like they could have easily been caught prior to publication with a bit of extra effort.
-There is no hardcover version.

Notes:
-After the publication of the book, the prescription drug Lovaza became popular as an omega-3 supplement. For persons with health insurance, it may be cost effective if they can get the prescription drug instead of paying out-of-pocket for supplements.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone experiencing the condition, although if you do read it, it's always better to let this not be the only book you read about the topic. There are other good recent books on the topic that you also may want to read afterwards, both to reinforce the important points and to learn other info.

Finally! Help for tearing February 16, 2008
B. Zagnoni (West Grove, PA USA)
9 out of 10 found this review helpful

My eyes have been watering for months. I tried over the counter remedies as well as a Restasis prescription from my doctor. The Restasis worked for a while but never really completely got rid of the problem.

I tried TheraTears mentioned in the book and although it said it would take 4-8 weeks to be effective, I noticed a lot of relief in just three weeks. It's a natural way to go, and I much prefer that to drugs.

I finally think I've found what I was looking for.
