The Dry Eye symptoms, the most common symptom is that you feel your eye is kind of dry, you might feel a foreign body sensation, itching, burning, reflex tearing, pain, those are the key things, redness, some people don't even realize they have dry eye, they'll just see a little bit of redness from time to time.
There are many treatments for dry eye, and it can be very overwhelming; there are two key paths to Dry Eye, the most important is to save a gland called the Meibomian Gland, and the second path is to help with the symptoms and, that is super important because people come in because of their symptoms but the treatment for the symptoms does not always equal saving these Meibomian Glands that produce the oil but, they're equally as important.
There's a whole toolbox of options, and the toolbox again is on this sheet, these are still all the treatments in the world for the symptom relief, so we work as a team with the patient to kind of use what tools work for them today versus next year versus ten years and of course this toolbox will change over the year but these are the key ones that we do recommend.
Some patients are allergic to certain medications or tools and some love certain ones and hate certain ones, some insurances cover certain ones, so we work together to see what the patient needs immediately.
So the Key Tools are: the warm compress routine, which helps with symptoms and saves the Meibomian Gland and then the third option is non-preserved artificial tears that anyone can get over the counter they come in these tiny little vials, we usually let patients reuse them as long as they're not touching the tip, and they are kept in the refrigerator, which helps with symptoms as well.
So those are the first three steps of the treatment ladder which help most patients in terms of the natural options.

Do your own patient non randomized study.
You have been brainwashed to believe one type of study is the best.
You are in a very good position to collect and categorize data from patients who have resolved their problems.
