Patients with dry eye syndrome may benefit from consuming foods rich in vitamin A, such as cod liver oil, animal liver, and egg yolks, which can help alleviate symptoms. Dietary habits and daily routines should align with seasonal changes; patients should avoid consuming foods inappropriate for the current season, maintain healthy lifestyle practices, refrain from staying up late, and aim to go to bed before 11 p.m. Foods high in vitamins—such as sweet potatoes, red dates (jujubes), and citrus fruits—are essential for maintaining ocular health and may also be consumed regularly.
