How Long Does it take for Treatment to improve Dry Eye?

As you now know, Dry Eye Disease is a chronic, multifactorial condition. It doesn’t occur suddenly and unfortunately things can take a while to improve! But the good news is they can improve.

A recent study looking at the impact of different types of lubricants on the symptoms and signs of dry eye disease found significant improvement in symptoms from day 30 when using drops four times a day.

Signs of the Dry Eye also improved between day 60 and 120. The key message from the research was your symptoms will improve before the signs of dry eye and consistent use of drops over many months was needed. There was some differences in different types of drops and a good optometrist or ophthalmologist should be able to direct you to the drop that will best suit your eyes needs.

So stick with it and you can get comfortable, clear and healthy eyes again.
