The treatment for dry eye syndrome involves medication. Currently, the main treatment methods include artificial tears or eye drops that nourish the cornea. Commonly used eye drops include sodium hyaluronate, polyvinyl alcohol, and hypromellose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) eye drops. For mild to moderate dry eye, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops can be selected; for severe dry eye, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents may be used.
