What Are Eyelid Lacrimal Inserts?
Posted by Andrew Price on
Imagine finding a simple, long-lasting solution to soothe dry, irritated eyes or even to manage constant tearing. Lacrimal eyelid inserts might be just what you’re looking for! These tiny inserts work by delivering steady hydration right where it's needed, offering comfort and relief for people with dry eye syndrome or watery eyes. Here’s how these innovative devices are changing the game in eye care.
Lacrimal eyelid inserts are small, thin devices placed inside the eyelid to help manage eye moisture. These inserts typically release a consistent, slow dose of lubricating or hydrating substances directly into the tear film, helping maintain moisture for those with dry eyes. They offer a long-lasting solution compared to eye drops, providing relief from symptoms like burning, irritation, and visual discomfort associated with dry eye syndrome. In cases of watery eyes, these inserts can stabilize the tear film and reduce excessive tearing caused by dryness-triggered reflex tearing.
