Medical Video: 🤣 How Do You Treat Dry Eyes Naturally: 5 Tips for Natural Dry Eye Relief 🤣
Dry eye is a common condition nowadays. Dry eyes occur when the tear glands do not produce enough tears to lubricate the eyes. This condition can be caused either by environmental elements or medical elements.
When exposed to dry eyes, patients can feel pain and discomfort. There are several dry eye treatment options that can relieve symptoms and help your eyes get better.
3 steps to overcome dry eyes
1. Avoid triggering dry eyes from the environment
Environment is the most common factor causing dry eyes. Therefore, choosing a good place to live and work, avoid smoking and strong winds, will help reduce the risk of getting dry eyes and prevent your dry eyes from getting worse. Protect your eyes while playing sports such as motor sports or cycling using protective goggles.
2. Eat fatty acids in the daily menu
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce the symptoms of dry eyes by reducing inflammation in the body, especially eye inflammation. Try to eat more foods that are rich in this nutrient because it will help relieve dry eye conditions.
3. Using drugs
Artificial eye drops and ointments
this is the most common method used to treat dry eyes. Patients can find many over-the-counter medicines for dry eyes at a pharmacy. These drugs can help relieve symptoms temporarily.
If you suffer from chronic dry eyes, it's better to use more eye drops than usual until the eyes improve. Almost all eye drops in the form of multidosis bottles usually contain preservatives which can sometimes cause eye side effects. If this happens, you should use preservative-free eye drops.
If you want to use a product that can help your eyes during sleep, you can use a thicker ointment.
Medications for treating eyelid inflammation
When inflammation of the eyelids occurs, it often prevents oil glands from releasing oil into the eyes. If this happens, doctors can prescribe antibiotics to help stop inflammation.
Tear stimulant medication
This drug will help the glands produce more tears. This type of drug is called cholinergic.
Eye drops to control inflammation of the cornea
These are prescription eye drops that contain cyclosporine and corticosteroid immune suppressants. This drug can help deal with inflammation on the surface of the eye. Corticosteroids are not for long-term use because of side effects.
