MILD DRY EYE
For patients with mild dry eye, some environmental modifications may bring relief.
According to the American Optometric Association a few steps you can take to reduce the symptoms of dry eyes are:
- Hydrate - be sure to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day
- Humidify - increasing the indoor humidity, especially in dry climates can help
- Reduce time in the sun and wind
- Follow the 20/20/20 rule-For every 20 minutes spent using a screen; you should look at something that is 20 feet away from you for at least 20 seconds.
If you have tried these lifestyle modifications without success or have more severe dry eye symptoms, the following treatments may be right for you.
