• For all patients it is important to eliminate any causative factors, if possible.
• Environmental modifications could include increasing air humidity, avoiding cigarette smoke, and decreasing electronic screen time.
• PF ocular medications should be used, if feasible, and eyelid problems or blepharitis that could be aggravating the DED should be addressed.
• Patients may find some relief by applying warm compresses to the eye, particularly in dry air environments or when unable to decrease electronic screen time because of employment.
• Increasing dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids or taking an omega-3 fatty acid supplement has been shown to have some clinical benefit in patients with DED.
• One recent randomized trial compared the effect of consuming two omega-3 fatty acid supplements containing a total of 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA per day with placebo, two medium-chained triglyceride capsules per day.
• After one month, the treatment group (n = 33) had improvement in dry eye symptoms with an increase in tear secretion and a decrease in tear evaporation compared with the placebo group (n = 31).
