Medical ophthalmology: A guide to eye health solutions

How to treat eye problems?

Eye conditions can be benign or require specific treatment. The most common disorders include dry eyes, irritation, infection, conjunctivitis and eyestrain. Management is based on :

identifying symptoms: redness, itching, tingling, abnormal secretions, foreign body sensation or blurred vision.
using appropriate treatments: antiseptic eye drops, artificial tears, ophthalmic anti-inflammatories or antibiotics, depending on the condition.
prevention and ocular hygiene: regular eye washing with a suitable solution, reduction of environmental stress (wind, screens, air conditioning).
medical consultation in the event of persistent symptoms: some conditions require specialist advice, particularly in the event of acute eye pain, photophobia or loss of vision.

Good ophthalmological care is based on compliance with medical indications and rigorous monitoring of treatment.

Relieve eye strain with simple gestures

Certain daily habits can help prevent and relieve eye ailments:

Rigorous eye hygiene: avoid touching your eyes with unwashed hands, and use sterile compresses for cleaning.
Reduce eyestrain: follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 meters away for 20 seconds) to limit screen fatigue.
Moisturizing eyes: the use of artificial tears is recommended for dry eyes, especially for contact lens wearers.
Avoid allergens: avoid smoky or dusty environments, and protect eyes from wind and pollution.

Our naturopathic advice for eye relief

Incorporating natural solutions into your eye care routine can enhance visual comfort and prevent the onset of ophthalmological disorders.

Soothe eye irritation

Eye irritations can be soothed by natural remedies with decongestant and anti-inflammatory properties:

Chamomile or cornflower compresses: used as a warm infusion, they soothe red eyes and reduce conjunctival inflammation.
Rose water: known for its soothing properties, it can be applied as a compress to the eyelids to reduce burning and dryness.

Combating dry eyes

Moisturization is a key factor in preventing dry eyes and maintaining a healthy balance in the tear film:

Omega-3 and essential fatty acids: found in fish, linseed and walnut oils, they improve tear film quality and reduce tear evaporation.
Saline drops: a natural solution for moisturizing and soothing the eyes in the event of temporary dryness.
Moderate exposure to screens: limit prolonged use of screens and adopt the 20-20-20 rule to prevent eye fatigue.

Preserving vision and retinal health

A diet rich in antioxidants and specific nutrients helps protect eye cells:

Vitamin A and beta-carotene: found in carrots, sweet potatoes and apricots, they are essential for retinal health.
Lutein and zeaxanthin: carotenoid pigments found in spinach and kale, they filter blue light and protect the macula against premature aging.
Ginkgo biloba: used in phytotherapy, it promotes blood microcirculation in the retina and can prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Reduce visual fatigue

Good management of light and ocular rest is essential to limit visual fatigue and preserve eye comfort:

Anti-blue-light filters: the use of filtering glasses or specific software reduces the impact of screens on the eyes.
Eye exercises: alternate focusing between near and distant objects to stimulate eye muscles and avoid accommodative fatigue.
Regular visual rest: take breaks every 20 minutes when working for long periods in front of a screen.

Improve blood circulation around the eyes

Good blood circulation promotes oxygenation of eye tissue and reduces the risk of inflammation:

Light eyelid massages: performed with gentle circular movements, they stimulate circulation and relieve eye fatigue.
Cold water and green tea compresses: applying compresses soaked in green tea or cold water helps decongest the eyelids and reduce dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.

Avoid environmental aggression

There are a number of precautions you can take to protect your eyes from environmental aggressors:

Wear sunglasses: choose lenses that filter UVA and UVB rays to protect the cornea and retina.
Avoid allergens and pollutants: avoid exposure to dusty or smoky environments to limit conjunctival irritation.
Maintain a good level of ambient humidity: use a humidifier to prevent dry eyes caused by heating or air conditioning.

Natural solutions are an excellent complement to ophthalmic drug treatments to improve visual comfort and prevent eye ailments. A global approach combining hygiene, nutrition, hydration and eye protection helps optimize eye health and preserve quality vision over the long term.
