What do you suggest if my right eye is very dry during the night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry eye: Dry eye is common. Rejuvenate tear film: apply heat to eyelids without burning your skin (hot towel in hot water; avoid pushing on eye); re-heating when towel gets cold (this will open the meibomian glands) and use artificial tears 4x/day during day & gel in pm. See eyemd otherwise. Good luck; see my blog for full instructions: step ladder approach for dry eye: eyedoc2020.blogspot.com
