Typical: Dry eye syndrome is common among women in your mother's age group. It is a chronic problem that is managed rather than cured. Artificial tears need to be used consistently for sustained relief. There are other options including medications, punctal plugs and lifestyle changes. See your eye doctor to develop a treatment plan.

Dry eye: Dry eye is a chronic disease which she will need to use eye drops from now on to control her symptoms. If she stops them, her symptoms will recur. She may benefit from punctal plugs, a low dose topical steroid, and/or restasis. See her eye doctor.
