Patient's question:
How to treat severe dry eye?Doctor's answer:
The cause of dry eye is not clear, and it tends to recur frequently. Currently, this condition cannot be cured, and it is related to factors you mentioned, such as frequent night work and long-term use of eye drops. Insufficient tear drainage, excessive tear evaporation, and meibomian gland dysfunction can all lead to this issue. It is important to pay attention to rest, engage in more outdoor activities, look at distant objects more often, and minimize contact with electronic devices. Avoid using eye drops indiscriminately. When symptoms are severe, medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as sodium hyaluronate eye drops.
