Dry Eye Treatment

Dry eye treatment involves various methods to relieve discomfort caused by insufficient tear production or poor tear quality. Common treatments include over-the-counter artificial tears to lubricate the eyes, prescription medications to reduce inflammation, and lifestyle changes like taking breaks from screens and using a humidifier. In some cases, temporary plugs can be inserted into tear ducts to retain moisture. Advanced options may include special eye drops or procedures to improve tear production. Consultation with an eye care professional is essential for a tailored treatment plan based on individual symptoms and underlying causes.
