A member asked:
Is there an alternative for artificial tear eye drops ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There two alternatives - Restasis and punctal plugs. Restasis is a medication that increases the tear flow and punctal plugs are tiny, soft plastic devices that decrease the removal of tears from the eyes. Talk with your ophthalmologist about these alternatives.
