Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling like there's something foreign in my eyes, but nothing has actually entered them. Then, my eyes are always dry, itchy, and painful, with a bit of a burning sensation. I'm also very sensitive to light, feeling like I'm about to "die" in the sunlight or under bright lights, making it hard to open my eyes. What should I do if I have developed dry eye disease in both eyes?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Dry eye syndrome can be relieved and treated through oral medications that address the symptoms, combined with good lifestyle habits such as moderate eye use, preventing eye fatigue, and ensuring sufficient deep sleep. Local application of artificial tears can also be used to moisturize the eyes and alleviate discomfort. Additionally, it is advisable to visit a hospital for relevant coordinated examinations and symptomatic treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
