Dry eye can be triggered by a variety of factors, often due to instability of the tear film on the surface of the eye, which in turn leads to discomfort such as dry eyes and foreign body sensation. Patients can be treated with medication, physical therapy and surgery.
1. Medication: Patients can use lubricating eye surface drugs for treatment, such as sodium vitrate, polyethylene glycol eye drops, etc. If the patient’s condition is serious, immunosuppressants such as tacrolimus and cyclosporine can also be used for treatment.
2. Physical therapy: dry eyes can also be treated with physical therapy, such as eyelid cleaning, blepharoplasty massage and hot compresses, etc., which can relieve the symptoms of dry eyes to a certain extent.
3. Surgery: If the effect of medication and physical therapy is not good, and the vision is seriously impaired, surgery can be used for treatment, such as submandibular gland transplantation, lacrimal punctum embolization and so on.
It is recommended that dry eye patients seek medical treatment in a timely manner, specific medication should be under the guidance of a doctor to avoid unauthorized use of medication leading to aggravation of the condition.
