A member asked:
Can you tell me of a solution to help with dry eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It all depends on why your eyes are dry. You can use OTC artificial tears for symptomatic relief. However, they do not treat the underlying cause. If you are not making enough tears, Restasis may increase tear production. If you have an unstable tear film, leading to rapid tear evaporation, omega 3's may help. There are many other causes of dry eyes and treatments. See your eye MD.

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?
