The Dry Eye Remedy: The Complete Guide to Restoring the Health and Beauty of Your Eyes

It can happen any time. Your eyes feel tired. You rub them. You look at yourself in the mirror and see lines, wrinkles, bags, redness that were never there before. Dry eye often starts as a minor irritation but can develop into a deeper problem affecting your vision and appearance.

Approximately 77 million Americans suffer from dry eye (also known as

dysfunctional tear syndrome). And traditional solutions, such as eyedrops and eyelid surgery, may actually make the problem worse.

The Dry Eye Remedy is the first book to give dry eye sufferers simple and

practical ways to restore eye health and appearance without surgery. Robert Latkany, M.D., offers:

• an innovative Home Eye Spa program with a soothing eye-cleansing massage

• easy environmental and lifestyle changes to help you look and feel better

• cutting-edge research on which medications and procedures may help and which to avoid.

The Dry Eye Remedy is an essential tool to ensure there is “not a dry eye in the house.”
