Dry eyes or dry eye syndrome (DES)
Dry Eye Syndrome is an ongoing condition that may be incurable. However, the symptoms of dry eye such as dryness, scratchiness and burning, are usually manageable.
The symptoms of dry eye can usually be successfully managed :
Dryness
Scratchiness
Burning
Watery Eyes
Our optometrists may recommend artificial tears, which are lubricating eyedrops that may alleviate the dry, scratching feeling, and foreign body sensation of dry eye. Prescription eye drops for dry eye go one step further, they help increase tear production.
Other therapies our eye doctors recommend are oral medication, punctal plugs, oil gland expression, and tear osmolarity monitoring. All of which may aid in reducing dry eye symptoms.
