Dry Eye Treatment

When you go to an optometrist on our team for dry eye symptoms, they conduct an examination and ask questions about your symptoms and medical history.

An optometrist on our team will come up with the best method according to the cause of dry eye and its severity. One of the most common treatment options is the use of artificial tears drops. Surgery is also an effective treatment method, especially if a person has severe dry eye.

Chronic dry eye can cause various complications, such as eye infection, corneal surface damage, and eye inflammation. Mild dry eye may not result in complications, especially when properly managed. That’s why it’s crucial to seek treatment if you have dry eye symptoms. 

How to Prevent Dry Eye

You can prevent dry eye by practicing the following:

  • Add moisture into the indoor air by using a humidifier
  • Wear protective eyewear such as sunglasses to block dry air and wind from getting into your eyes
  • Take breaks when doing tasks such as reading and using a computer
  • Avoid directing fans and other sources of dry air into your eyes
