| Dry Eye Computer Vision Syndrome by JBeary (LA, Calif) 5 Stars June 12, 2009 This book is similar to Reversing Dry Eye Syndrome. Both of these are good entry level books on understanding Dry Eye, but neither one of them offers a cure, only basic temporary relief. If you have level I dry eye (mild), the suggestions in the books will be more beneficial.
Dry Eye Talk forum is a good place to go after reading these books. It will help anyone with dry eye to understand their choices in managing it and why there isn't a single solution that works for everyone.
Dry Eye is caused by many things and there are four levels of dry eye. Treatment depends on the level and the cause. Only your eye doc can figure that out for you, but many of them just brush dry eye aside. Only a few really understand it.
| | This Book Explains Dry Eye by Sandra A. Neary (La Pine, OR) 4 Stars June 03, 2009 The book has very good examples of the various types and causes of dry eye, and good suggestions as to home treatments. I found this book very helpful and am better able to understand my doctor's concern.
| | Well worth the modest purchase price! by gloomsburg (bloomsburg, PA, USA) 5 Stars May 03, 2009 Ideally, of course, each of us should have a local, knowledgeable, expert-re-dry-eye doctor to help us deal with (itchy/red/painful/contact lens intolerant/post-Lasik, etc.) ocular problems. But in the absence of such heroes, this is a remarkably useful written resource.
A few of its specific product lists are becoming a smidge out-of-date as new products are hitting the market yearly. However, it is well-written BY a doctor, and well-explained -- specifically focused for a LAYPERSON audience.
| | Dry Eye Help by Dee K (Ohio) 5 Stars April 18, 2009 This is the book I'd been waiting for - for years. It takes a systematic approach to figuring out how and why one's eyes are "dry" (a catchall phrase that lumps a number of conditions together). From there it provides a number of good suggestions for moving beyond being one who suffers dry eyes to becoming one who survives, heals, and takes control of the condition.
I found this book thru the dry eye zone website where one can also find much help and support.
One of the best books I've ever purchased.

| | Essential reading for dry eye patients by A.B. (Yonkers, NY, USA) 5 Stars December 26, 2008 Pros:
-It offers comprehensive and up-to-date info (as of the date of its publication) about the latest in dry eyes.
-It offers all-around practical advice to dry eye patients who may have otherwise lost hope.
-The depth in which the topics are covered seems just right for most patients.
Minor cons:
-Artificial tears (such as most Genteal brands) that contain special non-irritating or disappearing preservatives were not emphasized strongly enough. IMO, such drops are better than those that are entirely without preservatives, because preservatives after all do serve a useful and obvious function. Drops without preservatives often come in single-use vials and are therefore harder to deal with if you want to reuse them for cost effectiveness.
-Alleged homeopathic remedies are presented in a largely neutral or optimistic view, but the scientific fact is that homeopathic drugs are bogus and don't really have any medical effect beyond that of placebo. As such, the book was somewhat complacent towards homeopathy, and I feel that this takes away from proper scientifically or empirically sound remedies.
-There are a few minor typos that seem like they could have easily been caught prior to publication with a bit of extra effort.
-There is no hardcover version.
Notes:
-After the publication of the book, the prescription drug Lovaza became popular as an omega-3 supplement. For persons with health insurance, it may be cost effective if they can get the prescription drug instead of paying out-of-pocket for supplements.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone experiencing the condition, although if you do read it, it's always better to let this not be the only book you read about the topic. There are other good recent books on the topic that you also may want to read afterwards, both to reinforce the important points and to learn other info.
