Prescription Medications

Prescription medications for dry eye

Different medications address different factors contributing to dry eye and eyelid disease. Depending on your examination findings, your treatment plan may include prescription drops or other prescription therapy, sometimes combined with in-office procedures and care at home.

Inflammation

Prescription anti-inflammatory therapy may be part of care when ocular surface inflammation is contributing to dry eye.

Eysuvis (loteprednol etabonate 0.25%)
A short-term corticosteroid treatment for dry eye signs and symptoms. Learn about its role, treatment duration, and monitoring.

Tear production

When testing shows inadequate tear production, medication may be considered to support the eye’s tear producing system. The choice depends on the cause and the rest of your examination findings.

Tryptyr (acoltremon 0.003%)
Prescription eye drops that stimulate natural tear production. Learn how treatment works and what to expect.

Tear evaporation

Some prescription treatments are designed to reduce tear evaporation. Suitability depends on tear film and meibomian gland findings.

Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane)
Prescription treatment targeting excessive tear evaporation. Learn about its role in evaporative dry eye care.

Demodex eyelid disease

Xdemvy (lotilaner ophthalmic solution 0.25%)
Prescription treatment for Demodex blepharitis. Learn how it works, the six-week course, and important safety information.

Corneal nerve dysfunction

Corneal nerve dysfunction can affect sensation and surface healing. Treatment depends on the diagnosis. Oxervate is approved for neurotrophic keratitis; it is not a general treatment for every cause of dry eye or nerve related eye pain.

Oxervate (cenegermin-bkbj 0.002%)
Prescription nerve growth factor treatment for neurotrophic keratitis. Learn about corneal healing, the eight-week course, and follow-up.
