Abstract(s)
Os farmacêuticos são o primeiro contacto do utente com um profissional de saúde sempre que têm um problema, pois as farmácias são um local de fácil acesso para toda a população. O papel do farmacêutico assenta numa relação de confiança com os utentes, ajudando-os na procura dos melhores resultados para si, promovendo a sua saúde e bem-estar. O aconselhamento beneficia sempre o utente, concedendo respostas às suas dúvidas e necessidades para melhorar e preservar a sua saúde e qualidade de vida.
A situação atual das farmácias portuguesas está relacionada com as diversas alterações legislativas como é o caso da venda de MNSRM fora das farmácias, as reduções de preços, a liberalização da propriedade das farmácias, a dinamização do mercado de genéricos e o aumento de custos, que levam a uma deterioração da organização financeira destes estabelecimentos, colocando em causa a sustentabilidade das farmácias.
Estima-se que o olho seco seja a doença da superfície ocular mais comum em todo o mundo. Está associada a diversos fatores e é descrita por uma perda da homeostase do filme lacrimal e sucessivos sintomas oculares, como é o caso da hiperosmolaridade e instabilidade do filme lacrimal, da inflamação e danos na superfície ocular. Exibe inúmeros fatores de risco como a idade, o sexo, diferentes medicamentos e comorbilidades e determinados comportamentos adotados pelos indivíduos. O tratamento tem como objetivo primordial tratar os sintomas de acordo com a severidade da doença.
Contudo, o farmacêutico deve possuir um conhecimento em saúde ocular pois tem a responsabilidade decidir e aconselhar sobre a melhor solução para cada indivíduo que o procura, segundo a severidade dos seus sinais e sintomas.
Pharmacists are the patient first contact with a health professional whenever they have a problem, as pharmacies are an easily accessible place for the all population. The role of the pharmacist is based on a relationship of trust with patients, helping them in the search for the best results for themselves, promoting their health and well-being. Counseling always benefits the patient, providing answers to their doubts and needs to improve and preserve their health and quality of life. The current situation of Portuguese pharmacies is related to the various legislative changes such as the sale of OTC outside pharmacies, price reductions, the liberalization of pharmacy ownership, the dynamization of the generic market and the increase in costs, which lead to a deterioration in the financial organization of these establishments, compromising the sustainability of pharmacies. Dry eye is estimated to be the most vulgar ocular surface disease. It is associated with several factors and is described by a loss of tear film homeostasis and successive ocular symptoms, such as hyperosmolarity and tear film instability, inflammation and damage to the ocular surface. It displays numerous risk factors such as age, sex, different medications and comorbidities and certain behaviors adopted by individuals. The main objective of treatment is to treat symptoms according to the severity of the disease. However, the pharmacist must have knowledge of eye health as he has the responsibility to decide and advise on the best solution for each individual who seeks him, according to the severity of his signs and symptoms.
