Why Are Eye Drops Stopping Burning and Dryness Only Temporarily?

May 5, 2026 /0 Comments/in , /by

Over-the-counter eye drops offer brief comfort because they merely add liquid surface moisture without fixing poor tear quality. Addressing meibomian gland dysfunction restores oil production, preventing tears from evaporating quickly. Advanced diagnostic evaluation identifies root causes, ensuring long-lasting relief and improved overall visual clarity. Does your morning routine involve reaching for lubricating drops that stop working before […]
