What eyedrops should i use for persistent dry eyes if visine does not work?

Many options: Be sure you are not using a drop labeled "gets the red out" as these are drying. You need a lubricating or tear replacement drop. Good ones for more persistent eye dryness are systane, refresh and theragel but there are many others. Has an ophthalmologist made this diagnosis?

OTC vs Rx: There are many otc moisturizing eyedrops, but if your eyes are chronically dry, you may need to see an ophthalmologist for a thorough exam & possible prescription for something like restasis.

Dry eye: Dry eye is very common. I would try artificial tears frequently during the day, ointment at night, warm compresses 1-2 times a day, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements. If no improvement, see an eye doctor.
