Is mild dry eye curable?

In general, mild dry eye syndrome can mostly be cured, with the key lying in promptly identifying the underlying causes and implementing scientific interventions. The specific analysis is as follows:

Symptoms of mild dry eye are relatively minor, commonly including dryness, a foreign body sensation, and transient blurred vision. These are usually triggered by reversible factors such as excessive eye strain, dry environments, or mild meibomian gland dysfunction. At this stage, tear secretion or evaporation abnormalities are not severe, and the tear film structure has not been significantly damaged. Symptoms can often be relieved by adjusting eye-use habits and improving environmental conditions. For example, reducing screen time, taking a 5-minute break every 30 minutes of screen use, using a humidifier in air-conditioned rooms to maintain moisture, and supplementing with preservative-free artificial tears can gradually restore tear balance in most individuals.

In daily life, it's important to develop healthy eye-use habits, avoid prolonged exposure to dry environments, and wear protective eyewear when outdoors to shield eyes from wind. Diet-wise, increasing intake of foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids—such as deep-sea fish and nuts—can help support eye health.
