Dry eye syndrome has been present for 30 years; treatment typically involves topical eye drops or oral traditional Chinese medicine. Adequate rest and avoiding excessive fatigue—especially during sleep—are essential. Maintain a nutritionally balanced diet, and wear tinted glasses to protect the corneal tissue. Proactively improve both living and workplace environments to minimize ocular irritation that may exacerbate dry eye syndrome. Dietarily, it is recommended to consume ample fresh fruits and vegetables to replenish vitamins and help alleviate symptoms of dry eye.
