Dry eye treatment: Dry eye is a chronic problem but can treated/ controlled. First line treatments include frequent artificial tears during the day, ointment at night, warm compresses 1-2 times a day, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements. If persistent symptoms, you should see your eye doctor to consider other therapies (restasis, low dose topical steroid, punctal plugs, etc).
