Should I Worry About My Dry Eyes?

If left untreated a dry eye condition could damage the tissues of the cornea which could result in a change in vision.

Mild forms of dry eye can be treated by using artificial tear drop solutions to help compensate for the reduction in the volume of naturally produced tears. For more severe cases of dry eye the following treatments might be considered.

• Use of prescription drops in an effort to reduce inflammation of the eye.
• Block tear ducts using specialized punctal plugs which serve to reduce or block the natural drainage of excessive tears from the eye; surgery can also be performed in order to achieve the same effect.
• Increase the natural production of tears by using over the counter prescriptions for drops or supplements.
