Dry Eye Rescue Tip

Start from your main symptom

Both Oasis and iVIZIA are high-quality preservative-free dry eye options. If you are unsure which to choose, consider your main symptom: more persistent moderate-to-severe dryness may point you toward Oasis Tears Plus, while contact lens use, screen strain, or a need for a gel option may point you toward iVIZIA. Your eye doctor can help you choose the best fit.

What If Eye Drops Are Not Enough?

Eye drops can help lubricate the surface of the eye, but they may not address the underlying cause of dry eye. If you have meibomian gland dysfunction, eyelid inflammation, blepharitis, allergies, or tear film instability, you may need a more complete routine.

Heated Eye Masks

May help support meibomian gland function and evaporative dry eye symptoms.

Lid Hygiene

Helpful for eyelid debris, irritation, blepharitis, and daily dry eye maintenance.

Dry Eye Omegas

Often used as longer-term nutritional support in a complete dry eye routine.
