Protect tip: When you put the first drop in, don't touch the tip to the eye and put the cap back on (or protect the tip). Then you can use it again without problems.

What can be done for chronic dry eyes when everything has already been tried? Restasis for 14 weeks, azasis for a month, bottom plugs. Tried steroid drops, antibiotic drops, upper plugs, nothing works. I can barely keep my eyes open for 10 seconds.
