New episode of the L'Oculista Italiano podcast to promote visual wellbeing
L'inflammation o inflammation is a condition present in many diseases, including eye diseases, and it is to this topic that the second episode of 'Listen and you will see', the L'Oculista Italiano podcast, produced in collaboration with Adnkronosto promote and support visual wellbeing, to learn about and protect our eyes.
In the few minutes of the podcast, in a simple and straightforward dialogue, one can get a range of information to recognise the main symptoms - burning and tearing, discomfort in the light (photophobia), as well as the feeling of sand in the eyes - and receive advice on how to solve the problem, preventing it from becoming chronic, a risk that is not so remote.
Some inflammations of the eye are due to infectious factors, such as conjunctivitisor occur after eye surgery, such as cataract removal. Other inflammatory conditions are due to systemic diseases, from diabetes to rheumatic diseases.
When trying to solve inflammatory symptoms, unfortunately, people often waste valuable time searching for answers on the web, instead of going to the doctor who has effective and innovative solutions available. As recent studies reveal, for instance, ophthalmic drugs in gel formulation are particularly effective in solving the problem because the active ingredients are retained longer on the surface of the eye. There are, moreover, formulations that are better tolerated because, having no preservatives, they promote the integrity of the eye's surface and, indeed, healing.
Conjunctivitis, for example, can today be treated with special combinations of antibiotics and steroid drugs indicated for the control of ocular inflammation after cataract surgery.
Even for inflammation, time makes a difference: it can best be managed in the early stages of all diseases, which is why it is important to carry out periodic screeningsespecially if you suffer from chronic diseases, and thus have an early diagnosis, rapid treatment and a solution to the problem. All to the benefit of health: there is solid data that quality of life also depends on the well-being of the eyes.
