Artificial tears for dry eye relief

Artificial Tears & Lubricants

For many patients, over-the-counter artificial tears provide temporary relief. Thicker gel drops and preservative-free options are often more effective. Learn more from the AAO Dry Eye Treatment Guide. If OTC drops don’t help, schedule a comprehensive exam at MiVision.

Identifying causes of dry eye

Identifying the Cause

Dry eye can be caused by aging, medications, autoimmune disease, or environmental factors. The National Eye Institute explains key risk factors. At MiVision, we evaluate the root cause to tailor treatment. Learn more about our general eye care services.

Lifestyle changes for dry eye relief

Lifestyle & Environment

Simple adjustments such as adding a humidifier, reducing screen glare, and taking regular breaks can improve comfort. The Mayo Clinic notes these everyday changes can make a big difference. Pair these tips with our LASIK consultation discussion, since dry eye is an important factor in laser vision correction.

Advanced therapies for dry eye

Prescription & In-Office Therapies

When artificial tears aren’t enough, prescription drops, punctal plugs, or light-based treatments may be recommended. The Cleveland Clinic outlines advanced options. At MiVision, we offer modern therapies to help patients find long-term relief.

Good to know: Treating the underlying cause of dry eye leads to the best long-term comfort and vision quality.
