It's been some days that i feel my eyes are very dry and are also painful. what can be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry eyes &...: Your eyes sound dry, but your eyelids may also be contributing to eye surface irritation. Try frequent preservative-free artificial tears every 1-2 hours daily for several days. Also a moderately hot washcloth applied for 10' 2-4 times/day followed by gentle eyelid massage with the washcloth can aide the eyelid oil glands to flow better. The doxy-/mini-cycline u r taking may help but can dry too.

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.
