Dr. Royer'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.
