Can sodium hyaluronate eye drops be used for dry eyes?

Dry eyes can usually be treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops.

Sodium hyaluronate eye drops are an artificial tear preparation, clinically used primarily for treating conditions such as Sjögren's syndrome and dry eye syndrome, as well as eye discomfort caused by surgery, medications, injuries, or wearing contact lenses. Therefore, when experiencing dry eyes, sodium hyaluronate eye drops can be used under a doctor's guidance. It is recommended to use preservative-free sodium hyaluronate eye drops, which typically do not cause any harm to the eyes. When applying the drops, avoid letting the tip of the container touch the eye, and do not use them while wearing contact lenses.

In addition to using sodium hyaluronate eye drops, dry eyes can also be relieved by warm compresses or exposing the eyes to warm water vapor to promote blood circulation around the eyes and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, it is important to reduce eye strain by minimizing the time spent on electronic devices such as smartphones and computers, and avoiding staying up late, which may worsen dry eye symptoms.
