Dr. Brusatti's Recommended Nighttime Hydration & Lubrication Products
Hydration is essential for managing dry eye. Proper hydration supports brain function, aiding in cognitive processes and reducing the risk of headaches, fatigue, and other symptoms.
For dry eye, staying hydrated helps maintain the moisture balance of the eyes, as dehydration can lead to a reduction in tear production, exacerbating dry eye symptoms. By ensuring adequate fluid intake, patients can promote healing, improve cognitive function, and maintain healthier, more comfortable eyes.
While 8-10 glasses of water a day is key, electrolytes are also important.
If you are waking up with dry eyes, you may need additional night time lubrication - you can use thicker artificial gel tears or night time ointments before bed.
