What kind of drops do you use for dry eyes?

Dry eyes syndrome is defined as the chronic lack of lubrication or moisture in the eye. Dry eyes can cause irritation to eye in the form of constant foreign body sensation to the more serious condition of ocular inflammation of the tissues of the eye. To treat common eye dryness I use non-preserved tear drops, lubricating ointment at bedtime or for a more serious condition I might use Restasis, which acts to increase tears. Should drops not help one’s dryness, we can insert small devices known as punctual plugs into one’s tear ducts to retain moisture in the eye. If you think you have dry eyes, contact us at http://www.clearvieweyes.com/contact.html for an appointment.
