  • When it comes to treating dry eyes, everyone’s needs are a little different. Many find relief simply from using artificial tears on a regular basis. Some of these products are watery and alleviate the symptoms temporarily; others are thicker and adhere to the eye longer. Preservative-free tears are recommended because they are the most soothing and have fewer additives that could potentially irritate. Avoid products that whiten the eyes – they don’t have adequate lubricating qualities and often make the problem worse. Closing the opening of the tear drain in the eyelid with special inserts called punctal plugs is another option. This works like closing a sink drain with aDry eye syndrome treatment stopper. These special plugs trap the tears on the eye, keeping it moist. This may be done on a temporary basis with a dissolvable collagen plug, or permanently with a silicone plug. There are also simple lifestyle changes that can significantly improve irritation from dry eyes. For example, drinking eight to ten glasses of water each day keeps the body hydrated and flushes impurities. Make a conscious effort to blink frequently – especially when reading or watching television. Avoid rubbing the eyes. This only worsens the irritation. Wearing sun glasses when outside also can help, especially if its windy. There are even glasses made specifically for people with dry eyes. Treating dry eye problems is important not only for comfort, but also for the health of the cornea. http://www.uic.edu/com/eye/LearningAboutVision/EyeFacts/DryEyes.shtml http://www.mayoclinic.com/print/dry-eyes/DS00463/DSECTION=all&METHOD=print http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_61127.html http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/dryeye.htm http://www.allaboutvision.com/slides/slidephotos-sunglasses-performance.htm
