How to treat a dry eye infection?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Few tips: Alcohol in nail polish can dry out eyes if you blow on your nails while wet. Acne meds can irritate eyes and must be kept away from eyes. If you have any redness or discharge,please see your eye doctor. You may try artificial tears without a prescription at your pharmacy. Good luck.

Dry eye, infection: Patients with dry eyes are more likely to get eye discharge and an eye infection. Use warm compresses and diluted tea tree oil (Cliradex wipes are best to start with to see how dilute to make them); use nonpreserved artifical tears 4-6x/day. If not better naturally in 2 days or if infeciton severe, call to get Rx for antibiotic:see"lid hygiene" or "multi-tiered approach" on eyedoc2020@blogspot.com
