Dry eyes
Dry eyes are a common problem affecting many people around the world. In addition to the sensation of dryness, this condition can manifest itself through symptoms such as :
- eye irritation or redness
- a burning or gritty sensation in the eyes
- fluctuating blurred vision
It is caused by a lack of tear production, too rapid evaporation of tears, or – more often than not – a combination of both. Today, this multifactorial pathology is exacerbated by our environmental and professional conditions (screen time, air conditioning…).
Fortunately, there are a number of treatments that can help relieve the symptoms of dry eye by restoring the balance of the tear film, thus improving day-to-day comfort.
Common treatments for dry eyes
There are a number of ways to treat dry eye, depending on the cause and severity of the condition. Here are some of the options available:
- Artificial tears
Used as a first line of defence, they lubricate the surface of the eye, reducing dryness symptoms. This treatment is often sufficient for mild forms. - Ointments and gels
These treatments offer longer-lasting hydration than artificial tears. They are often used at night to prevent the eyes from drying out during sleep. - Tear plugs
These small devices are inserted into the tear ducts to prevent tears from evacuating too quickly, thus maintaining better hydration. - Drug treatments
Anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs may be prescribed to treat the inflammation associated with chronic dry eye. - Eyelid care with heat and massage
Applying heat to the Meibomius glands (on the eyelids) promotes the production of oil in the tears, limiting their evaporation. - Advanced medical devices
Non-invasive treatments using innovative technologies can directly address the causes of dry eye.
These include the Rexon-Eye, a device using quantum molecular resonance to stimulate natural tear production.
The Rexon-Eye
The Rexon-Eye is a medical device that uses quantum molecular resonance to treat dry eye. This non-invasive treatment stimulates the cells responsible for tear production, enabling natural regeneration of the ocular surface and a lasting improvement in eye hydration.
This treatment is particularly suitable for people suffering from moderate to severe dry eye, especially when conventional solutions such as artificial tears are no longer sufficient.
After just a few sessions, many patients notice a marked improvement in their ocular comfort.

How do you choose the treatment that’s right for you?
The choice of treatment depends on :
- the severity of dry eyes
- its underlying causes
- treatments already tried
It’s essential to consult a healthcare professional to determine the approach best suited to your situation.
Solutions range from simple treatments (such as artificial tears) to advanced technologies like Rexon-Eye.
If you suffer from dry eyes, talk to a specialist to explore your options and regain better visual comfort.
