Hydrating Eye
Posted in Anti-Aging by admin
‘Dry eyes’ refers literally to what it means – the eyes not having enough of hydration. Why does this happen? It could be because of a lack of the watery secretion of the tear glands. It could be because of a lack of mucin secretion which is the mucous layer in the eye and the third reason could be a lack of lipids, which means the tears evaporate as fast as they are made!
Your tear glands are also called lachrymal glands and they are constantly releasing a watery substance to keep your eyes moist and hydrated. Of course, when you laugh too much or cry, these glands go berserk and go into an overproduction mode so you find yourself wiping away a copious flow of tears. As long as your eyes are hydrated, you face a lowered risk of any infections in the eye. So when the tear glands start producing less, there’s cause to worry. How do you know that it isn’t enough? Besides the itchy, irritable feeling? There is a test that your eye physician will probably subject you to in order to measure how dry your eyes are. This is a sort of litmus test for the eyes and the measurement of the aqueous fluid in them. It involves testing with a strip of paper that measures the amount of hydration. If the score you get is less than 10, it means you have a dry eye problem. Of course, how much below 10 shows you how serious the problem is.
The other problem could be the lack of enough secretion of the mucin layer in your eye. This is the layer that lies between the eye surface and the inside watery layer. When this mucous-like fluid is deficient, there is not enough of this slightly sticky substance to keep the eyes moist. This, too, could result in an uncomfortable or scratchy feeling in the eye. Sometimes, a lack of mucin makes one feel like there is a piece of grit in the eye that won’t go away. Measuring this is not common but one can deduce that if it isn’t any other cause, it could be a mucin deficiency.
The third problem could be a lack of lipids. When this happens, the tears that are made by your tear glands evaporate so fast that you are left with dry eyes. This can be determined by doing a ‘tear break-up time test’ where a little bit of dye is put into your eye and the evaporation time monitored. As the tears evaporate, the dye gets deposited as spots and this is how the physician knows that the tears are disappearing from your eyes. This process is observed through a special lamp and the time taken for the dye spots to appear is how they calculate just how bad your problem is. In normal eyes, it takes about 10 to 15 seconds for the dye spots to appear. Anything less than this and it’s a deficiency. This, too results in the usual itchy feeling and sometimes a constant feeling of discomfort.

Removes residue and maintains the skin’s natural pH, leaving the skin smooth and refreshed. White, red and green tea extracts combined with goji berry, pomegranate and grapeseed extracts help to neutralize free radicals, protect skin from environmental toxins and combat the visible signs of premature aging. Cranberry Extract – Derived from the berry which grows on low-hanging vines in temperate zones in many regions of the world this fruit contains a number of compounds including flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins, linolenic and linoleic essential fatty acids and the polyphenol anti-oxidant Ellagic acid which converts to tannins having both anstringent and antiseptic properties. It also contains phytosterols, which contribute to the structure of the cell membrane improving the integrity of the skin barrier and prevent water loss. Rose Hips Seed Extract – Derived from the berry-like fruits of the rose bush left behind after the bloom has died, it regenerates the skin, due to the high concentration of Vitamin C, anti-oxidant flavonoids and essential fatty acids; Oleic, Palmitic, Linoleic and Linolenic, needed by the structures of every tissue membrane for the growth of cells.

Sodium Hyaluronate – is the sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the skin, to regulate cell behavior during the healing process and inflammation.
