The blockage causes less secretion of oil in the tears, which results in evaporation of tears too quickly.

Topical anti-inflammatory agents (cyclosporine and corticosteroids), omega 3 fatty acids, immunosuppressant, umbilical cord serum, artificial tear substitutes and gels, emulsions, and ointments are the common agents used for treatment of DES. Advanced options for the treatment of DES include conjunctival flap, mucous membrane grafting, lateral tarsorrhaphy, salivary gland duct transposition, amniotic membrane contact lens therapy, and prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem (PROSE) lens therapy.
