Abstract in brief

  • Dry eye disease (DED) is a complex condition affecting many people, caused by issues like gland dysfunction and inflammation, and current treatments often don't fully relieve symptoms.
  • Alternative therapies being explored include neuromodulation, stem cell treatments, oral supplements like royal jelly, eyelid warming devices, intense pulsed light, topical honey, and natural anti-inflammatory agents, with some showing promising results.
  • Other approaches for nerve-related issues involve blood-derived products, nerve growth factors, neurotization, fatty acids, and methods like nerve blocks and acupuncture, but more high-quality research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and long-term benefits.
