A member asked:

Why do my eyes feel heavy after using artificial tears eye drops ... and blurry . and how can i cure it ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viscosity issue.: The drops may be too viscous (thick) and you might benefit by the use of a less thick, non-preserved artificial tear product. You may benefit from a full evaluation of your eyes for the underlying reason for the need of tear supplementation.

A member asked:

Are there good natural cures for dry eyes? I dont want to use drugs and medicated eye drops if i can help it. Ive read that flaxseed oil can help make tears more oily so they dont evaporate so fast. Is this true? Are there any other natural solutions?
