Care Routines
When it comes to dry eye and eyelid discomfort, consistency matters. Many eye care professionals recommend simple, repeatable care routines to support eyelid health and tear film stability.
This page outlines common at-home care routines—designed to be easy to follow and commonly recommended alongside in-office care.
Quick start: what most daily eyelid care routines include
While every patient is different, many routines focus on supporting healthier eyelids through gentle, daily habits:
- Warm compresses to support natural oil flow (as directed)
- Gentle eyelid cleansing along the lash line to reduce buildup
- Repeatable daily habits that patients can realistically maintain
