Mucus Fishing Syndrome Treatment

Mucus fishing syndrome is a condition where individuals repeatedly remove mucus from their eye surface, leading to chronic irritation and inflammation. The primary treatment involves breaking this cycle through behavioral modification and proper eye care.

Treatment options include using artificial tears to lubricate the eyes, warm compresses to soothe irritation, and in some cases, topical antibiotics if infection is present. Patients are advised to avoid touching or rubbing their eyes and to practice good eye hygiene.

For persistent cases, consultation with an ophthalmologist is recommended for specialized care and potential prescription medications to reduce inflammation and promote healing of the ocular surface.
