“Free lazy eye treatment?”  Well, free eye care is valuable what it costs, but a simple eye drop prescription may be able to save you a thousand dollars or more in treatment fees. That’s equal to a lot of free office visits.

Forget the pirate patch, eye drops are the treatment of choice today for lazy eye. No more daily battles with your child to prevent an eye patch on, one drop in the morning and your responsibility is done for the day. Lazy eye is the most general cause of permanent sight loss in children and if not treated by age 7 to 9 it persists into adulthood  with permanent damage to the visual cortex area of the brain. It is the leading cause of vision loss in one eye in the 20-70 year old age group, occurring in around 3% of the population.

Most of the information on the success of treatment of lazy eye has been from limited, uncontrolled studies. There is a great opportunity for future learning about improving the treatment of lazy eye.

Lazy Eye is still usually treated with outdated methods of occlusion (patching) of the eye that sees well. Patching therapy typically has very poor compliance, especially since you cannot be with your child every minute of the day. Kids don’t like wearing patches after the novelty wears off and may be subjected to ridicule by peers. Prove indicates that compliance is probably the most important factor in the outcome of treatment of lazy eye.

Using an eye drop that prevents the good eye from focusing forces the lazy eyes to work to see thing at closer distances, as a side effect of the drops the pupil of the good eye stays dilated, so it needs some form of UV protection in eyeglasses or sunglasses. This is not a new method but it has begun catching on due to recent studies showing it is effective and very well taken by parents and children. Without a patch blocking one eye completely the child is able to maintain some level of binocular vision which helps the treatment process. It also ensures there is no damage to peripheral vision, making it a healthier alternative to a patch.

Atropine is the drop normally used but we replace a milder alternative. It is better and in my opinion there is really no need  to keep the effect lasting overnight while the child is asleep.

There is a tremendous cost and time saving to the parent due to less frequent office visits and a good reduction in the amount of eye exercises required to restore the sight.

If you think there is no way you can get a drop in your child’s eye every day we have a secret for that too. If your child has a lazy eye we can help make it easy and fun!

 Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream

Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream

Have you tested a lot of anti wrinkle eye cream products only to be disappointed and to feel you wasted your money? Many people have spent a lot of money for eye treatment and tried a lot of anti wrinkle eye products but have not found the one that works for them yet. Why, with all the products out there, is it so hard to find a good anti wrinkle eye cream that does what it promises to do? That is something that a lot of people are wondering

The reason so many anti wrinkle eye cream products do not work is that the manufacturers do not spend the time or money it takes to make a right quality product. These companies prevent using the same elements that they have always used even though they sometimes claim to have a new and improved product. Really, their products are all the same.

While the big cosmetic companies make many millions each year, they are not reinvesting that money into the development of their products. They are not spending the money on researching and developing new and improved products that might let them to find the formula for a really efficient anti wrinkle eye treatment cream. They instead spend the money on advertisements so they can make more money.

All companies need to advertise, of course, but the cosmetic companies are not taking care of their customers. They are making the same products they always have and making claims about their effectively that are not true, which means they are disappointing their customers. Why should we prevent buying anti wrinkle eye treatment creams and other products from these companies if they don’t care about the quality of their products?

You want to look for a good quality product — one without a lot of chemicals and other hazardous ingredients. Many of the chemicals used in the cosmetics you see in local stores are toxins that the skin absorbs and that are related to a variety of health problems. You will have much less of a chance of having a bad reaction to an anti wrinkle eye treatment cream with natural ingredients.

You do have a choice when it comes to anti wrinkle eye cream products. You can buy this type of eye cream from a company that uses natural and organic ingredients, which are safe and effective. These natural cosmetics are a much better option and when you use them, you will not have to worry about having a bad reaction to the product because there will be no chemicals in it.

There are four main ingredients that any good natural anti wrinkle eye cream should have if it is going to work well. Two of these are Functional Keratin and Phytessence Wakame, both of which make your body to produce more collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The other two are Eyelids and Haloxyl, which will trim the visible dark circles and bags under your eyes so you look younger and healthier.

When you use a good quality natural anti wrinkle eye cream, you will notice that your eyes look younger and healthier! The best way to take care of your skin and keep it looking young while not risking your health is to use cosmetics with only natural ingredients.

Pink Eye Treatment – Do Home Remedies Really Work?

Pink Eye Treatment

Pink Eye Treatment

There are quite a number of home Remedies floating around for the  pink eye treatment. But they pretty much come down to the same thing. Some suggest the use of a compress, which is simply a moist soft cloth or pad held over the eye, while others indicate that you should swab or bathe the eye. They only differ in what they suggest you should put in the water.

None of these so-called ‘Cures’ will cure the condition. But they can relieve the symptoms, and speed up the recovery process, which makes them a useful addition to the treatment of Pink Eye.

The five questions you need answers to are:

1. What liquid should I use?

Clean water should be used. It doesn’t have to be sterilized – ordinary tap water is clean. If you’re in any uncertainty about the quality of the tap water, you should boil it, or use bottled water.

2. What should I put in it?

That’s up to you, but my recommendation is bicarbonate of soda, at the rate of half a teaspoon to a cup of water. Bicarbonate of soda is a common ingredient, is readily available, is safe and simple to use, and has no side effects.

3. What temperature is best?

Again, that’s up to you. Personally, I like it warm, but use whatever temperature you feel will give you the most relief. Just make sure that it’s not too hot.

4. What do I apply it with?

If you’re planning to swab or bathe the eye, then use something small, soft, and disposable. A make-up removal pad is ideal, or a small wad of cotton wool. Wipe the eye softly, in an outward motion (i.e. from the nose to the ear). Try not to use the same part of the swab twice.

If you are going to use it as a compress, you probably need something a little larger, such as a face washer, or a small hand towel.

5. How often, and for how long, do I treat the eye?

5-10 minutes at a time, 3-4 times a day, is usually ample
