What is dry eye?
El Dry Eye is an eye irregularity in which the eye produces a quantity of insufficient tears, very related to hormonal changes in the case of women, as well as its poor quality or rapid evaporation, usually caused by alterations in the Meibomian glands These glands, which are found in the eyelids and secrete lipids (fats), are responsible for lubricating the ocular surface and preventing the tear film from evaporating, which is known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
What are the causes of dry eye?
Currently, the Dry Eye It is one of the most frequent causes in ophthalmology centers due to the discomfort generated and the loss of the quality of life of patients who suffer from it.
There are several factors that can cause this condition, such as:
- Allergic disorders
- Rheumatic diseases: antidepressants, antihistamines or contraceptives, among others.
- Hormonal changes: menopause.
- Addiction to tobacco.
- Having undergone previous eye surgery, such as Lasik surgery, for the treatment of myopia, farshigtednessand / or astigmatism, since a decrease in the sensitivity of the cornea can occur.
- The abuse of contact lenses.
- Read for long periods of time as the frequency of blinking is reduced and the tear evaporates faster.
- Use an electronic device very often.
- Aging, especially from the 50 years.
- Some diseases such as diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or Sjorgren's syndrome can contribute to the appearance of dry eye.
What symptoms produces dry eye?
- Burning and itching
- Redness.

- Blurred vision or excessive sensitivity to light.
- Heaviness in the eyelids.

How is dry eye treatment?
As it is generally a chronic and progressive ocular pathology, the treatment until now used to be long term. Depending on the case of each patient, the ophthalmologist will recommend one type of treatment or another. Among them we can highlight:
- Artificial tears: the application of artificial tears without preservatives to help maintain moisture. It is an isotonic or hypotonic saline solution that helps to prolong the permanence of artificial tears on the ocular surface, in addition to preventing any contamination, as well as preventing any type of ocular irritation.
- Topical cyclosporine: in more complex cases, eye drops with growth factors obtained from the patient's own serum and immunosuppressive drugs to fight inflammation, such as cyclosporin A.
- Probing of Meibomian glands: se is a non-invasive surgical procedure that aims to open the outlet of the Meibomian glands, extract the fat content from inside and apply an antibiotic to normalize the microbial flora. It is done with superficial sedation and is painless.
- Exfoliation of the free edge of the eyelids and glandular drainage: It is one of the least invasive techniques. It is about removing the membrane that clogs the Meibomian glands through an exfoliation. Next, a massage is performed to empty the contents of the glands applying cold and antioxidants to reduce the inflammation of the eyelids and improve lymphatic drainage.
Other treatments
- Pulsed light treatment for dry eye: The thermal pulsation consists in the localized application of heat and therapeutic pressure in the four eyelids (upper and lower) in order to improve the drainage of the Meibomian glands. These glands are responsible for providing the lipids to the tear, that is, the fat part that prevents its evaporation and makes it of good quality.
- Treatment with eye drops rich in growth factors: It is a treatment indicated for severe dry eye and is based on regenerative medicine, whose main task is to use the body's own resources to repair damaged tissues.
What is the treatment of dry eye with eye drops rich in growth factors?
It is a treatment indicated for severe dry eye and is based on regenerative medicine, whose main task is to use the body's own resources to repair damaged tissues.
It is a new therapy that consists of a specific type of eye drops, made from the patient's own blood, which provides a great advantage for its biocompatibility as it has characteristics similar to its own tear, thus eliminating the risk of inflammation , eye pain or allergy.
In addition, eye drops have components such as growth factors, vitamin A and fibronectin, in addition to physiological characteristics similar to those of tear secretions (tears)
Treatment with Plasma eye drops Rich in Growth Factors is indicated for the treatment of ocular surface disorders, such as dry eye syndrome, corneal ulcers and epithelial defects due to its ability to regenerate damaged ocular tissue.

Platelets reduce inflammation and the sensation of pain, minimizing the need to use other pharmacological therapies. - The recovery of a functional tissue favors a more natural and effective lubrication, significantly reducing the symptoms of the Dry Eye.
