Two databases were used, the web portal Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and two digital libraries. Data were organized by using three structured forms.Ten studies made up the final sample, in English, with evidence levels between I and III. The results pointed out differences regarding the best or most appropriate occlusion and ocular lubrication methods to prevent dry eye.Several care methods showed strong scientific evidence to prevent dry eye, related to occlusion and ocular lubrication. There is a need for further studies to determine the strength of this evidence.
