Patients with dry eye syndrome may benefit from consuming more fish, lean meat, soy products, and sesame seeds to moderately increase their protein intake, which is advantageous for managing the condition. Additionally, these foods supply essential nutrients that support ocular health, promote corneal repair, and enhance the body’s resistance to disease. It is recommended to consume fresh vegetables and fruits regularly, while avoiding overly spicy or irritating foods to prevent disease progression.
