I Tried 4 Prescription Dry Eye Treatments So You Don't Have To

Confused about which prescription dry eye medication is right for you? In this video, board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Lee breaks down how four leading dry eye medications work, so you can understand your treatment options before heading to the pharmacy. I (Dr. Lee) explain the mechanism of action behind Restasis, Xiidra, Miebo, and Vevye — how they target inflammation, improve tear production, and relieve symptoms of chronic dry eye and ocular surface disease. If you’ve been diagnosed with dry eye syndrome, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), or experience burning, stinging, or blurry vision, this video will clarify how the top prescription-grade dry eye treatments can work for you. Learn the differences between these prescription options, how they actually work, what sets them apart, potential side effects, and which one might work best for your type of dry eye. I tried them all — and I explain what you need to know, from an eye doctor’s perspective.
