Specializes in Cornea, Cataract, & Refractive (LASIK & PRK) Surgery

Dry eyes: You can try warm compresses, staying hydrated, fish oil supplements, and punctal plugs. You will likely still need some artificial tears.

Yes: There are punctal occlusion and latisse (bimatoprost). Talk to your ophthalmologist about these options.
