Dry eye patients can relieve their eye discomfort through eye massage, but generally cannot return to normal.
Dry eye syndrome is mainly caused by abnormal tear quality and decreased tear film stability, etc. Patients may experience dry eyes, photophobia, foreign body sensation and other discomfort symptoms. Eye massage can promote blood circulation in the eyes and relieve the patient’s discomfort, but generally cannot restore the symptoms.
Dry eye patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, such as sodium vitrate eye drops, polyethylene eye drops, etc., to lubricate the surface of the eye and relieve eye discomfort. When medication is not effective, patients may also be treated with surgical procedures, such as tear duct occlusion and submandibular gland transplantation.
It is recommended that patients with significant symptoms of dry eye disease seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
