Eye drops treatment
Eye drops are one of the most common methods to treat dry eyes, which can effectively relieve dry eyes and discomfort. According to the specific situation of the patient, the doctor will choose different eyedrops for treatment. Among them, artificial tear eye drops are the most common choice, which can provide lubrication materials lacking in the eyes and alleviate dry eye symptoms. In addition to the artificial tear eye drops, there are antibiotic eye drops, anti-inflammatory eye drops and artificial mucus.

At the same time, the use of irritant eyedrops should be avoided to avoid aggravating the symptoms. While using eye drops, doctors will also recommend patients to take other treatment methods to achieve better results.
Hot compress therapy
Hot compress is a simple and effective method to treat dry eye. The use of hot towels or hot compresses to warm the eyes can promote the stability of the tear film and the secretion of tears, thus alleviating the dryness and discomfort of the eyes. Hot compress can also expand blood vessels, increase blood circulation, and provide nutrients and oxygen needed by the eyes.
During hot compress, the patient can choose a hot towel with appropriate temperature and gently cover the closed eyes for 5-10 minutes. Hot compress 2-3 times a day can significantly improve the symptoms. However, it should be noted that the temperature should not be too high during hot compress to avoid eye burns. At the same time, avoid exposure to cold environment after hot compress to avoid irritation.
Nutrition supplement
Nutrition supplement is also an important part of the treatment of dry eye. Vitamins A, B, C, E and omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in eye health. These nutrients can promote the secretion of tears, increase the stability of tear film, and alleviate dry eye symptoms.
Patients can take these nutrients through a balanced diet, or choose appropriate nutritional supplements under the guidance of doctors. However, it needs to be reminded that supplementary nutrients cannot replace other treatment methods, and should be used comprehensively to achieve better results.
Environmental adjustment

In the office and home environment, appropriate humidity and temperature should be maintained to avoid excessively dry environment. Humidifier can be used to increase air humidity, and air conditioner filter screen and dust can be cleaned regularly. In addition, when using electronic equipment for a long time, you should rest your eyes properly to avoid excessive eye use.
