A member asked:

My eyes are dry. i've noticed for the past 3 weeks usually at night time. i don't wear contacts & i drink 4 water bottles/day . should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Frequent problem: Dry eye is a common problem. While hydration can help, it may not cure dry eye. An eye exam may help to determine how bad it is and if there are any other causes. Artificial tears can be used, and i prefer systane, refresh, genteal, and theratears. Thicker gel drops can be used at night. Oral antihistamines and some medications can worsen dry eye, as can low humidity and airborne allergens.
