What medications work fast for dry eyes

The effect of oral drug treatment for dry eye patients is not good, and there is no effective oral drug to treat dry eye. Dry eye patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, surgical treatment and physical therapy to promote the recovery of the disease. The medication for dry eye disease mainly refers to artificial tear drops, such as sodium vitrate eye drops and polyvinyl alcohol eye drops, which can moisturize the patient’s eyeballs and alleviate the symptoms of dryness, foreign body sensation and other discomforts. Surgical treatments, including tear duct closure and submandibular gland transplantation, are mainly used for patients with severe dry eye who are not well treated with medication, and can keep the eyes moisturized. Dry eye patients can also be treated with physical therapy, such as hot compresses around the eyes, blepharosphenoid gland massage, and wearing wet room lenses, etc. Among them, blepharosphenoid gland massage can promote the excretion of blepharosphenoid gland secretions, promote the secretion of the lipid layer, and ensure the quality of tears, and the wearing of wet room lenses can keep the environment around the eyes moist. It is recommended that dry eye patients seek medical examination in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
