Are dry eyes something that can be cured? i have read on how to maintain symptoms of dry eyes but not how to get rid of them completely.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Dry eyes can be caused by some medications and can be irritated by quite a few things (e.g. smoke, sunlight, air travel). So if you have one of those situations, address accordingly. often, however, it is an intrinsic problem. If you wear contact lenses, Then you need to be extra careful. Some people believe that taking Omega-3/6 fatty acid supplements may help. There are also many lubricants OTC.
