Dry Eye Treatments

Artificial Tears and Lubricating Eye Drops

The most common and initial treatment for dry eye involves the use of over-the-counter artificial tears or lubricating eye drops. These products help to supplement the natural tear film, providing relief from dryness and irritation. Some drops are designed for mild symptoms, while others offer longer-lasting moisture for more severe cases.


Prescription Medications

For chronic or severe dry eye, prescription medications such as cyclosporine (Restasis) or lifitegrast (Xiidra) can be used. These medications reduce inflammation on the surface of the eye and increase natural tear production over time, offering more substantial and long-term relief.


### 4. **Meibomian Gland Expression**

   Many cases of dry eye are caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), where the oil glands in the eyelids become blocked. Treatments such as manual expression, thermal pulsation devices (like LipiFlow), or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy can be used to unblock these glands, improving the quality of the tear film and reducing dry eye symptoms.

### 5. **Nutritional Supplements**

   Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in fish oil supplements, have been shown to reduce inflammation and improve the quality of the tear film. Incorporating omega-3 supplements or increasing dietary intake of these nutrients can be an effective adjunctive treatment for dry eye, particularly in patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.

### 6. **Environmental and Lifestyle Modifications**

   Environmental factors such as dry air, wind, and screen time can exacerbate dry eye symptoms. We often recommend lifestyle changes, such as using a humidifier, wearing protective eyewear, taking regular breaks from screens, and avoiding smoke or air conditioning, to help manage symptoms. Additionally, practicing good eyelid hygiene with warm compresses and gentle lid scrubs can help maintain healthy tear production.

These treatment options can be tailored to each patient’s specific condition, providing a comprehensive approach to managing dry eye and improving overall comfort and eye health.
