A member asked:

For the past two weeks i've been having some of the symptoms of chronic dry eye dieaese should i go see my eye doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: there are many causes for dry eyes: allergy, medication side effects, aging, hormonal, blepharitis(lid inflammation), , contact lens, post surgery, secondary to autoimmune diseases, and lack of vit A or omega 3 essential fatty acid. If you used tears, heat pack and omega 3 but still have problem pls see your eye doc.
