What is the best way to treat dry eyes?

Dry eye: Artificial tears during the day, ointment at night, warm compresses, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements. If no improvement, other treatment may be needed.

Dry eyes!: Start with artificial tears routinely (one drop 4 times a day every day), oral omega-3's, and warm compresses. Next, medicated drops (restasis, mild steroid drops, NSAID drops) or punctal occlusion may be helpful.
