Purpose. This randomized, observer-masked, crossover study investigated the effect of two hyaluronic acid/trehalose-based containing formulations, with different physical properties, on the signs and symptoms in patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED). Methods. In one group, patients received a mixture of sodium hyaluronate and trehalose (HT, Thealoz Duo®) for use during the day. In the other group, patients received a more viscous formulation consisting of hyaluronic acid, trehalose, and carbomer (HTC-gel, Thealoz Duo Gel) to use pro re nata. Both groups used HTC-gel before going to bed. Clinical standard tests for DED were performed at the beginning and end of each one-week period. Further, patient satisfaction including quality of sleep was assessed using a visual analogue scale. Results. Corneal fluorescein and conjunctival lissamine green staining scores decreased, and tear breakup time (BUT) increased for both groups ( each). Mean instillation frequency was 3.1 ± 2.6 drops/day when using HT and 1.9 ± 2.2 drops/day when using HTC-gel (). A significant improvement in the quality of sleep was observed with both treatments (). Conclusions. Our results show improvement in signs and symptoms of DED in both groups. While instillation of HTC-gel resulted in a lower instillation frequency, both formulations of trehalose showed good clinical efficacy. This trial is registered with NCT02980913.

Reinhart et al. show that 20 min of direct-current stimulation can change visual acuity. Subjects’ event-related potentials showed the same pattern of amplitude changes observed with behavior. Finally, subjects with the worst visual acuity showed the largest improvements following anodal stimulation of visual cortex.

NIH-funded clinical trial shows Eylea, Avastin, and Lucentis perform similarly when vision loss is mild.

Background Transforming growth factor (TGF) family members play important roles in the regulation of corneal integrity, and the pathogenesis of corneal fibrosis. Currently, there are no effective agents targeting TGF-β signaling to diminish corneal fibrosis. Glucosamine (GlcN), which is widely used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, abrogates the morphologic effects of TGF-β2 on retinal pigmented epithelial cells in a mouse disease model. Here, we sought to determine whether GlcN would exert beneficial effects against TGF-β1-induced corneal fibrosis. Methods In human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs) treated with GlcN, the expression of Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and its downstream signaling effects were determined in the presence and absence of TGF-β1 using immunoblot analysis. We further explored GlcN inhibition of fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation via KLF4 siRNA. The effect of cycloheximide on KLF4 protein levels with or without GlcN administration was assessed to determine whether GlcN affects the stability of the KLF4 protein. Results In HCFs, GlcN induced the expression of KLF4, which regulated the maturation and maintenance of the ocular surface. GlcN partially suppressed the TGF-β1-induced expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and reduced the collagen contraction capacity in HCFs, suggesting a decrease in fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation. This effect appeared to be mediated through suppression of Smad2 phosphorylation and ERK-dependent signaling. The levels of KLF4 mRNA were increased by GlcN and decreased by TGF-β1 and the TGF-β1-induced α-SMA mRNA expression was upregulated when the KLF4 gene was silenced. GlcN also appeared to stabilize the KLF4 protein, reducing its turnover in corneal fibroblasts. Conclusion These findings shed light on a novel mechanism by which GlcN suppresses TGF-β1-induced fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation through the upregulation of KLF4 expression. Current strategies for treating corneal fibrosis were not effective. Elevating KLF4 levels through the use of GlcN might provide an effective alternative to alleviate the development and progression of corneal fibrosis.

Celiac disease is often thought of as a disease that only affects the small intestine, creating symptoms like diarrhea, intestinal pain, cramping, weight loss, and malabsorption. While that is true, approximately half of all celiac disease patients present with extra-intestinal (non-gastrointestinal) symptoms, such as anemia, osteoporosis, neurological disorders, infertility, skin concerns, and vision or eyesight problems. Ocular (eye) symptoms caused by gluten can vary according to a person’s genetic predisposition, immune status, gender, and age at onset. This video will focus on how non celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease can manifest as ophthalmic concerns, which can be derived from both malnutrition or malabsorption and immune alterations. Gluten Induced Eye Diseases (00:30) Retinopathy (01:16) Cataracts (03:20) Pseudotumor Cerebri (03:55) Dry Eye (05:50) Autoimmune Diseases that can affect the eye (08:08) Thyroiditis (08:58) Orbital Myositis (09:49) Uveitis (11:26) Brain Occipital Calcification (13:51) Nutritional Deficiencies & Eye Health (14:40) Vitamin C and E as Antioxidants (14:50) Beta Carotene and Vitamin A (16:20) Zinc and Eye Function (18:45) Lutein and Zeaxanthin (21:25) Omega 3's and Inflammation Regulation (22:07) Copper, Folate, and B12 (24:18) Live Q&A (28:12) If you have been diagnosed with celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity, it is wise to be vigilant in testing for, consuming, and supplementing as necessary with nutrients needed for eye health, as they are often found to be depleted even in patients who have been strictly following a gluten-free diet.

Click here to subscribe - https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/wxrn Ophthalmologic manifestations related to malnutrition stem from low levels of vitamin A, vitamin D, and calcium, which are common in celiac disease patients. These include retinopathy, cataract, dry eye, and pseudotumor cerebri: Retinopathy: characterized by yellowish to white lesions studded with tiny holes in the peripheral retina. It is typically caused by a deficiency in vitamin A. The vitamin A deficiency can also lead to night blindness (nyctalopia). Typically, visual function improves after one to four months of vitamin A supplementation. Cataracts: marked by the clouding of the lens of the eye, most cataracts develop slowly over time and cause blurry vision. Cataracts can be caused by a vitamin D deficiency, as a vitamin D deficiency interferes with the absorption of calcium and the resulting hypocalcemia (low blood levels of calcium) contributes to the development of cataracts. In addition, diarrhea common in undiagnosed celiac patients can lead to dehydration. Dehydration can alter the composition of the lens and lead to low levels of calcium in the aqueous humor. This leads to hypocalcemia which can then lead to cataracts. Pseudotumor cerebri: also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension is characterized by increased intracranial pressure of unknown cause. It is thought to be caused by nutritional, metabolic, endocrinological or hematological disorders. In particular, it is linked with both vitamin A poisoning and vitamin A deficiency, although the mechanisms by which vitamin A deficiency and poisoning results in increased intracranial pressure is still not fully understood. Vitamin A deficiency is a common manifestation of gluten induced intestinal damage. Dry eye: just as it sounds, dry eye results in uncomfortably dry eyes and sometimes small spots present on the whites of the eyes called Bitot’s spots. Vitamin A deficiency is often the root cause behind this condition as well, and research has shown it is more common in celiac disease patients.

A drug, originally developed to treat cardiovascular disease, has the potential to reduce diabetes related blindness, researchers have discovered. According to recent WHO global estimates, 422 million people have diabetes, and one of the most common complications of this disease is vision loss.

Greater intake of dietary nitrate and green leafy vegetables was associated with a 20 percent to 30 percent lower risk of primary open-angle glaucoma, according to a study.

Dr. Sam discusses ways to improve your eyesight with blurry vision.

Dr. Sircus shares his own experience with using hydrogen gas for a eye problem and also how he uses a diluted solution of magnesium chloride (magnesium oil) to soothe his eyes. For more information: https://drsircus.com/shop/ebooks/hydrogen-medicine/ http://hydrogenmedicine.info/ https://hydroproducts.info/ https://hydrogensportsmedicine.info/ ** Transcription** Back in June I started to have eye problems again. I started to losing vision in one of my eyes. It was going blurry and I´ve problems before, I´ve cataract surgery and I did two things for my eyes, for that eye. I would spray a diluted solution of magnesium chloride (magnesium oil) with water like 15, 20 parts water per one part magnesium and I took my hydrogen inhaler, which one of the ones I´m using from Vital Reaction (there are a big unit) puts out 4 liters a minute so you can actually feel, you can feel the flow and I held up to my eye and just kind of when you put out a fire and just spray for a few days with the hydrogen. So, I´m feeling better. I went to eye doctor and he said it's going to get better by itself now, and it did. So, he didn't do anything and I can swear and there is no way to say which of the two helped or both together. I would think, both together. I am doing this video to a company and short writings of mine from my Hydrogen Medicine book on the research that is available that finds that - yes, hydrogen gas does have an effect on the retina and have neuroprotective properties by taking down the oxidative stress and inflammation. Hydrogen is unique is this regard in terms of being an antioxidant that gets, because it's so small hydrogen gets everywhere. There is nowhere that we can´t get. So you take something like peripheral like your toes or your fingertips or your retina and your are at the extremity, you are extreme of the ability of hydrogen to get to these locations. So flooding the body with hydrogen or in may case, actually blowing hydrogen gas right on the eye, is good medicine, because we know when you are inhaling hydrogen it will, and that's what the studies are, it will reflect to the extremities, will reach the retina. So, if you are going blind and your doctor needs to prescribe an antioxidant because you are totally, you know oxidative and stress levels through the roof, think about hydrogen and yes, think about getting some magnesium oil and spraying in the eye. It is very soothing, just it stings a little bit and that is why you can control the dilution. You can start out with a higher dilution and then make it more concentrated with the time. Your eyes gets used to it because it´s salt. Magnesium Chloride is a salt, so kind of burns a little bit, but it feels good. Some other people have had success with improving their eyesight, people I know, so, this is a legitimate evidence-based scientifically based application for hydrogen medicine, specifically hydrogen inhalation. In the water of course will reflect more to the intestinal tract.

A complication associated with bone marrow transplantation, graft-versus-host-disease, occurs when a transplanted immune system attacks certain parts of a host's body, and may cause severe dry eye and damage to the cornea. A clinical trial showed that topical doses of ultra low-dose tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive medication, is equally effective and showed fewer hypertensive side effects in treating ocular symptoms associated with graft-versus-host-disease than methylprednisolone, a steroid medication.
