Natural Solution for Dry Eyes

Keeping the eye moist is essential for good eye health. Tears bathe the eye, washing out dust and debris. They also contain enzymes that neutralize the microorganisms that populate the eye. In dry eye syndrome, the eye either doesn't produce enough tears, or the tears it produces have a chemical composition that causes them to evaporate too quickly.

Causes of Dry Eyes

There are several causes of dry eyes. It can be “normal” degeneration from aging, a process which is accelerated if you still eat cooked food. As with any degenerative condition, eating raw foods and a lot of greens in particular will help. Dryness is also a side effect of laser corrective surgery, many medications, such as antidepressants, certain blood pressure medicines, and even birth control pills. It is a serious condition and must be addressed. I am not a doctor, so these causes of dry eyes are not my territory.
