A member asked:

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.
