Dry eye is a very common condition. If you’re experiencing symptoms, be careful with at-home remedies:
-Avoid Using Soaps or Shampoo: Even “tear-free” soaps can irritate your eyes and worsen dry eye symptoms. For debris around your eyes, see an optometrist for treatments like BlephEx or recommended lid hygiene products.
-Don’t Rely on Over-the-Counter Eye Drops: These don’t treat the root cause and can irritate your eyes. Opt for preservative-free drops or prescription options from your optometrist.
-Evaluate Underlying Causes: Conditions like autoimmune disorders, medications, and factors like aging, menopause, and high screen use can increase dry eye risk.
-Improve Your Diet: Eat foods rich in Omega 3s, like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds, to reduce inflammation.
-Improve Hydration & Humidity: Stay hydrated and use a humidifier at home to keep moisture levels up.
-See Your Optometrist: We can diagnose and provide the best treatment for your dry eye symptoms.
