Non preserved best: For daily use, preserved artificial tears, of which there are many, work well. Eyemds like the refresh brand given its long track record (no financial interest. Use no more than 4x/d as they have a preservative that can cause an allergy. Nonpreserved at are best as no preservative present, can be used as often as needed, though cost more.

Dry eye: I would try refresh or systane eye drops during the day and ointment at night. Warm compresses and fish oil supplements can also be beneficial.
