A member asked:
I'm concerned because the optician said i have 'dry patches' on my eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry eyess: One can use artificial tears and take oral omega-3s. Warm compresses to stimulate more tear production. A humidifier in the home. Beyond that you need the advice of an eye md. They may recommend pucntal plugs, medicated drops, etc.
