The treatment and modifications in step 1 should be done by ALL dry eye syndrome sufferers. This is the basis to treatment for all disease. Remember that a disease is your body's way of telling you that something YOU are doing is wrong!
I have severe dry eyes and red cuts on my eyelids. Does eating sugary treats make it worse?

Thank you for your question, Patty. Eating sugary foods will definitely increase the inflammation on your eyelids as well as your entire body. It’s never good to eat a diet high in added sugar.
Reduce the added sugar, keep hydrated, and ild hygiene are a must!
