Dry eye syndrome is usually not a serious condition, however there is no treatment that will cure the symptoms permanently. Range of treatments can control your symptoms.
Mild to moderate cases of dry eye syndrome can usually be successfully treated using eye drops that contain ‘tear substitutes’, a liquid that is designed to mimic the properties of tears. City Eyes stock Systane and Systane Ultra solutions, and Clens 100 for contact lens wearers.
It is also possible to make changes to compensate for environmental factors. For example, placing a humidifier in your home to reduce dryness, or changing your work habits to rest your eyes.
Severe cases should always be discussed with an optometrist, who will suggest a suitable treatment.
