Doctor's answer:

Dry eye syndrome is a chronic condition that requires long-term treatment to be cured. If symptoms do not improve after prolonged treatment, surgical intervention may be recommended. Patients with dry eye should pay attention to eye care, minimize the use of electronic devices such as computers and smartphones, and avoid medications that can easily cause dry eyes. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more foods rich in vitamins and reduce the intake of greasy, easily irritating foods. Artificial tears can also be used to alleviate symptoms.
