Finding the Right Treatment for Dry Eyes
When your eyes are healthy, you don’t really notice how they feel. But when you’re suffering from chronic dry eye, you may feel pain, burning, scratching, and irritation in your eyes. With dry eye disease, your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or those tears evaporate too quickly. Fortunately, there are many different treatment options out there to relieve symptoms and help the eyes produce more tears. An eye doctor, or ophthalmologist, like me, can recommend over-the-counter (OTC) artificial tears for mild cases, or you might need prescription eye drops to lower the inflammation in your eye. Follow these tips to make sure you’re getting the best treatment for your dry eyes.
