Therapy - prescription drugs
If daily home heat therapy for the eyelids, together with regular eyelid cleaning and lid care, and the use of freely available tear substitutes are not sufficient to improve the symptoms of dry eyes, then the ophthalmologist can offer specialized apparative treatments in his practise.
The eye doctor can also prescribe various medications in order to support other treatments.
these medications may work in various ways against an often occurring inflammation of the eye and eyelids.
such drugs should never be used without a doctor's prescription, as they can have severe side effects or potential interactions with other drugs.
