When fever symptoms such as eyelid redness, congestion, and pain appear, you can take lutein orally. Supplementing lutein to the eyes is equivalent to adding a pair of "natural sunglasses" to the body, which will restore healthy eyes to most dry eye patients.

2. Tips for daily treatment of dry eye conjunctivitis

1. Apply artificial tears

Artificial tears are very effective in treating dry eyes. Because artificial tears are made of sodium hyaluronate, they can keep the eyeball moist, do not contain preservatives, and are mostly packaged in single doses, making them safer and more effective.

2. Hot compress

Hot compresses are also a good treatment method. Use a hot towel or wet a washcloth and heat it in the microwave, and apply hot compress to the eyes several times a day for ten minutes each time.

3. Clean the eyelid margin

Buy saline solution, dip a cotton swab in it and apply it to your eyelids, wiping the roots of your eyelashes several times like applying eyeliner.

For moderate or severe dry eyes, "punctum embolization surgery" can be performed in the outpatient clinic. It is currently one of the most commonly used methods for treating dry eyes. Punctal embolization can preserve the patient's own natural tears and prolong their residence time on the surface of the eye. It is the first choice treatment for moderate to severe dry eyes.
