Artificial tears have much the samecomposition as natural tears.
Digital Habits
Another source of your dry eye woes could be your digital habits.
Drink enough water and other fluids to prevent dehydration, which may worsen dry eye symptoms.
The extra day-to-day steps and debilitating symptoms can leave you feeling drained and exasperated.
An eye specialist can prescribe more effective drops than those available over the counter.
Or, they may prescribe a steroid drop, Eysuvis (loteprednol), to reduce inflammation.
Tyrvaya (varenicline solution) nasal spray stimulates the production of tears, oils, and mucin.
These lenses keep saline fluid against the corneal surface while keeping dust and debris at bay.
These are all the same thing.
The result is burning, itching, and irritated eyes, affecting quality of life.
Balancing Medication Side Effects
The medication you take to reduce dry eye can bring great relief.
Unfortunately, it may also produce side effects at times.
With Restasis, for example, you may experience burning and stinging.
Summary
Self-careis a must for anyone with dry eye syndrome.
This may involve changing habits or the home, work, or school environment.
It may also mean relying on over-the-counter products or those an eye specialist prescribes.
