Can you recover from insufficient tear production?

The recovery of insufficient tear secretion is related to the cause of insufficient secretion. For insufficient tear secretion caused by dry syndrome and chronic inflammatory stimulation of the eye, it is possible to recover it through treatment, while for insufficient tear secretion caused by aging factors and atrophy of the eyelid glands, it is generally more difficult to recover. Insufficient tear secretion in the eyes, patients may have dry eye syndrome, which is a common disease in ophthalmology, patients may have dry eyes, foreign body sensation and other uncomfortable symptoms. Caused by dry eye syndrome, patients are treated with hormonal drugs, immunosuppressant drugs such as cyclosporine A to relieve the discomfort. For insufficient tear secretion caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation of the eye, patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use tobramycin eye drops and other medications to control inflammation, thus relieving the damage of inflammatory stimulation on the tear-secreting glands and improving the secretion of tears. However, for the aging phenomenon and atrophy of the blepharoplasty gland and other causes of insufficient tear secretion, due to the atrophied gland can not be restored, tear secretion is more difficult to return to normal. It is recommended that patients with significant dry eyes should seek prompt medical attention to assess and treat their condition.
