What eye drops are good for treating dry eyes?
At present, the eye drops mainly used to treat dry eye syndrome include artificial tears, eye drops to lubricate the ocular surface, eye drops to promote lacrimal gland secretion, and anti-inflammatory eye drops. But all eye drops need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Artificial tears: Commonly used artificial tears include sodium hyaluronate eye drops , polyvinyl alcohol eye drops, dextran hypromellose eye drops, etc. Artificial tears can relieve dry eye syndrome by replacing tear components and are ideal eye drops for the treatment of dry eye syndrome;
2. Eye drops that lubricate the ocular surface: such as polyvinyl alcohol eye drops, the main component is polyvinyl alcohol, which is highly hydrophilic and has strong film-forming properties. It can form artificial tear films on the surface of the eyes, lubricate the eyes and prevent eye moisture from evaporating. Carbomer eye drops can also be used as a lubricant , which can improve dry eye syndrome to a certain extent;
3. Eye drops that promote lacrimal gland secretion: such as Neosmin Taurine Eye Drops. Neosamine is a hormone that promotes lacrimal gland secretion and can enhance tear secretion. In addition, because Xinsi obviously has the effect of constricting blood vessels, it can reduce congestion and edema on the eye surface, thereby reducing the symptoms of eye congestion and edema in patients with dry eye syndrome;
4. Anti-inflammatory eye drops: Such as pranoprofen eye drops, which are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops and can play an anti-inflammatory role, so they can treat dry eye syndrome.
Dry eye syndrome usually refers to the instability of the tear film due to insufficient tear secretion or excessive evaporation. Patients may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as eye fatigue, foreign body sensation, and dryness. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital promptly after experiencing symptoms of discomfort.
