(Name, form & strength and pack size) Max price to consumerWhen you experience symptoms of dry eye, or after eye surgery or an eye injury your doctor may recommend using eye drops (artificial tears) or an eye ointment. OCUNOX™ improves the tear film and protects the surface of the eye. Due to its particularly smooth texture, OCUNOX™ gently moisturizes your eyes, stabilizes the tear film and prevents tears from evaporating while you sleep. OCUNOX™ contains Vitamin A, a natural component of the tear film, that supports tolerance and helps ensure that the ointment mixes well with available tears to relieve the burning sensation of dry or tired eyes. OCUNOX™ helps the eyelids slide easily over the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva, keeping the eyelids smooth and preventing crusting around the eye. Children, pregnant and breast-feeding women can safely use OCUNOX™.
If you use OCUNOX™ during the day, your vision will be impaired for some time because of the fatty consistency of the ointment. For the duration of this impairment of vision you should not drive a car, use machines or perform any work without stable footing. OCUNOX™ must not be used while wearing contact lenses. The frequency of use depends on your individual discomfort and habits. OCUNOX™ can be used in addition to lubricating eye drops. Ideally combine with our preservative-free, phosphate-free, 300-drop HYLO™ / HYLO™Gel. Usually apply once a day before bedtime. If you feel the need to use OCUNOX™ more often, talk to your doctor. The duration of treatment is not limited. Only use OCUNOX™ if the sealing ring of the tube is intact. Eye ointments should be used by avoiding any contact between the tube-tip and the eye or the skin. Unscrew the cap covering the nozzle. Tilt back your head a little, then slightly retract the lower eyelid from the eye.
Apply a slight pressure to the tube to squeeze a small amount of ointment into the conjunctival sac. Slowly close the eye. Close the tube carefully after use. Do not fold or coil up the tube. A tube of OCUNOX™ should not be shared. Store at room temperature (15 to 25 °C). OCUNOX™ should not be used if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients. OCUNOX™ is preservative and phosphate free and is usually well tolerated. Preservatives can damage the cells of the eye surface, destroy the natural tear film and cause intolerance. Phosphates can form practically insoluble crystals due to the reaction with calcium (which is released from damaged cells of the eye surface) and can impair your vision. Modern eye drops and ointments used for dry eyes, particularly after eye surgery or injuries, should not contain phosphates. Because they stay long on the surface of the eye, it is particularly important that ointment-like eye preparations do not contain any harmful substances.
OCUNOX™ eye ointment is entirely free of preservatives and phosphates. Nonetheless, due to its unique formulation, OCUNOX™ eye ointment can be used for up to 6 months after first opening. » Read more about why preservative free and phosphate free is important For more information please read the package insert! As with all health concerns you should consult your doctor when your symptoms persist.Night blindness (impaired dark adaptation) is the experience of reduced night vision. It typically causes people to not be able to see well in the darkness but be able to see without problem when it is not dark. unless accompanied by other eye pathology, is not true blindness; even at nighttime, the eye is not "blind" but occurs because the rods of the photoreceptor cells which are needed for dim light are not functioning correctly. Vitamins & SupplementsOn a tight budget?We recommend Advanced Eye & Vision Support (whole food) Formula 60 vcaps Can vary on an individual basis for each patient.
Symptoms include weak vision in dim light, difficulty seeing during night driving, and slow vision adaption between bright and dim light conditions. Only your doctor can provide adequate diagnosis of any signs or symptoms and whether they are indeed night blindness symptoms. The rods and cones in your eye are the photoreceptors that take in light and pass information through the optic nerve to your brain for interpretation. responsible for vision in dim light and if there is a problem with these cells, poor or no night vision is the result. Night blindness, known as Congenital night vision disorder (complete or incomplete) is a genetic defect-related condition associated with failure of rods and cones to function correctly. In the complete form the rods in your retina do not respond to light and you cannot see in dim light conditions. But almost any vision condition may result in poor vision which is especially problematic at night, and with sudden shifts from dark to light to dark, as when you are driving at night and another car approaches.
If you are having difficulty seeing at night then you should ask your doctor about your symptoms. are specially associated with rod and cone problems. Other conditions that may result in poor night vision include: celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, bile duct obstruction, cirrhosis of the liver, lasik eye surgery, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, fuch's dystrophy myopia, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and vitreous detachment. Diabetes, which develops due to elevated blood sugar levels damages the retina. Night blindness is an early indicator of damage due to diabetes.Early signs of cataracts are poor night vision with halos around lights, glare and blurry vision. Night blindness is also associated with the following nutritional deficiencies. An early indicator of a deficiency in vitamin A may be night blindness. A primary source of vitamin A is from animal sources, so diets such as a vegan diet without eggs, dairy, some fish, and/or
organ meats may result in deficiency of vitamin A. The body makes vitamin A from beta-carotene found in yellow/orange vegetables and fruits, so if those are also not part of the diet, the risk is greater. Health care providers may recommend vitamin A (10,000 - 25,000 IU) daily in order to overcomeBeta-carotene can also be taken to reverse a deficiency, but it is not as effective as taking vitamin A directly. This is because beta-carotene is absorbed slowly by the body and slowly converted to vitamin A. Vitamin A palmitate is the best form of supplemental vitamin A. 15,000 IU is often the recommended daily dosage (check with your doctor or nutritionist). Note that vitamin A is contra-indicated for those suffering from Night blindness may also be the result of a zinc deficiency1 which reduces the activity of an enzyme that helps the body produce vitamin A (retinol dehydrogenase). Research has shown that taking a zinc supplementHealthcare providers often recommend 15 - 30 mg of zinc daily for vision.
At the same time long-term supplementation with zinc may lower copper levels, so 1 - 2 mg of copper daily is recommended to be taken with zinc for extended use. In general, the recommended supplement ratio is 15:1 zinc to copper. Consult your medical professional for correct dosage if you are supplementing with zinc. Bilberry (a blueberry relative) grows in northern Europe and North America in the wild. It is rich in flavonoids, specifically bilberry which is rich in anthocyanosides, the elements in plants that provide color. These natural chemicals are potent antioxidants that, among other benefits, enhance the creation of the purple pigment (rhodopsin) that is used by the rods in the back of the eye to assist with night vision. Early research has shown that bilberry supplementation improves the speed of adapting to darkness for people who have poor night vision. Taurine supports the integrity of photoreceptors necessary for night vision2, 3, 7, in a process known as rhodopsin regeneration.
is the primary pigment in photoreceptor rods and so vision in low-light conditions is supported. It also helps to protect cell membranes from free radical damage and helps to remove toxins and debris.4 Taurine is found in the photoreceptors at levels ten times greater than other amino acids.5 Takes a moment to load ... 1.
