Of course, many common eye problems can be treated and helped without surgery. For example, the common condition known as dry eye is most often treated non-surgically using:
Artificial tears and ointments – The primary dry eye treatment. You can buy artificial teardrops over the counter. You might have to experiment to find the one that works best for you. If you have chronic dry eye, it is important to use the drops even when your eyes feel fine, to keep them lubricated. If your eyes dry out while you sleep, you can use a thicker lubricant, such as an ointment, at night.
Medications – Including topical steroids, may be beneficial some patients.
Restasis® – This is the only FDA-approved prescription eye drop that helps increase tear production.
