5 recommendations for dry eye

"Being a chronic disease, the treatment of dry eye does not end when leaving the ophthalmologist's office, but requires a series of care and habits that the patient must maintain at home." These are some of the main keys to keep dry eyes at bay, offered by IMO specialists in a detailed and updated guide on the pathology:

1. Be meticulous with eyelid hygiene: apply heat to the eyelids using hot compresses, massage them with vertical movements and clean their edges and eyelashes with soapy solution and, alternatively, special wipes.
2. Take environmental measures such as avoiding heating and air conditioning, using humidifiers or protecting your eyes with glasses.
3. Take high-dose Omega 3 fatty acid supplements.
4. Carry out periodic controls (one a year, at least) and the visits specially indicated by the ophthalmologist to apply the appropriate treatments.
5. Under medical prescription in the indicated cases, use topical or oral anti-inflammatories and/or antibiotics.
