How to Treat Dry Eyes

Tips for customers

• Drink plenty of water¹
• Take frequent breaks from computer work or reading¹
• Turn air conditioning off and keep heating as low as possible, using a bowl of water to humidify the room if necessary¹
• Avoid wearing contact lenses for long periods of time¹

Conventional treatment for dry eyes

• Pharmacy is the front line of treatment for temporary, mild dry eyes
• A wide range of lubricant eye drops (e.g. hypromellose & sodium hyaluronate) act as artifical tears and can offer temporary relief of symptoms¹

However, many sufferers avoid treating their dry eyes because they do not like putting treatments into the eye or find it difficult to use drops⁹

• Applying treatments into the eyes can be messy and inconvenient, with sufferers unwilling to disrupt their schedule for treatment, particularly if they are wearing eye make-up or contact lenses¹⁰
