How to Combat Dry Eyes

Suffering from dry eyes can make everyday tasks like driving or even having a conversation with someone to be a bit irritating— especially if you suffer from chronic dry eye. And unless you want to spend the majority of your day blinking in order to moisturize your dry eyes, then you need to look for a solution to your problem. From over-the-counter eye drops to laser treatment for dry eye, this article will discuss a few of the different options that you have to choose from. Read on to learn more.

Over-the-Counter Eye Drops
If you go to the pharmacy or your local drugstore you are going to see boxes upon boxes of eye drops that you can buy. Used for things such as allergies or dry eye, over-the-counter eye drops can help give you the instant relief that you have desired. By simply taking one or two eye drops that are designed specifically for dry eye, and dropping them into your eye a few times a day, you will start to notice that your eyes will start to produce more natural tears and that they will retain the moisture they need.

Laser Treatment
If you have tried over-the-counter eye drops for years and still haven’t seen a noticeable difference, dr. Mark Latina provides patients with the opportunity to receive laser treatment for dry eyes. By giving patients relief for several months up to a year, IPL Laser Treatment is a safe and effective way to restore moisture to your eyes. By unclogging inflamed and clogged dormant glands in your eyes, the IPL laser helps your tear ducts to speed up production of natural tears to help coat your eyes and give you the desired relief that you have been hoping for.

If you suffer from dry eyes and are looking for some temporary relief, contact Dr. Mark Latina in order to learn more about both over-the-counter eye drops and our IPL laser treatment option as well.
