1. Artificial Tears & Lubricating Eye Drops
Artificial tears and lubricating eye drops are often the first step in managing dry eye. They provide immediate moisture, offering fast relief from dryness caused by environmental factors, prolonged screen use, or insufficient tear production.
We recommend Systane Lubricant Eye Drops, a trusted option that results in long-lasting hydration that soothes irritation and keeps your eyes feeling fresh throughout the day.
2. Punctal Plugs
When your eyes struggle to retain their natural tears, punctal plugs can be a simple yet effective way to prevent dryness. These tiny devices are inserted into your tear ducts to block drainage, allowing your natural tears to stay on the surface of your eyes longer. This leads to enhanced hydration, reduced irritation, and minimized need for artificial tears. We recommend punctal plugs for individuals with moderate to severe dry eye who need a more sustained approach to managing their symptoms.
3. Optase Moist Heat Mask
Many cases of dry eye are caused by poor oil production in the tear glands due to blocked meibomian glands, which leads to rapid evaporation of tears. The Optase Moist Heat Mask addresses this problem by providing gentle, consistent heat that stimulates oil production and improves tear stability. This improves tear quality, alleviates dryness, and soothes tired, irritated eyes.
4. Systane Night Gel
For overnight hydration, Systane Night Gel is a game-changer. This thick, protective gel works while you sleep, forming an intense moisture barrier that shields your eyes from dryness. It’s ideal for individuals who often wake up with dry, uncomfortable eyes, enabling you to start your day feeling refreshed and ready to go. With consistent use, Systane Night Gel can help manage chronic dryness and provide long-lasting relief.
