Dry eye divides into cases where too little tear is produced and cases where the tears evaporate too quickly, and the latter is more common.

What Korean medicine treatment looks at is not only the eyes. We look together at muscle tension around the eyes and in the neck and shoulders, sleep, screen-use habits, and the changes around the menopause.

When the neck and shoulders stiffen, the circulation around the eyes worsens with it. So there are cases where those who did not improve from treating the eyes alone change after the neck is released as well. We address the area around the eyes and the back of the neck together with acupuncture and moxibustion.

Regarding it as a state of deficient body fluids, we also use prescriptions such as Gyeongokgo.

You can proceed alongside even if you are using artificial tears.

If your vision declines, the eye hurts badly, or the redness is severe, it may be another problem, so please see an ophthalmologist.
