Hi all,
I am 50 yr.old female. Just entered menopause, and have had dry symptoms for
a few yrs. Finally went to an opthomologist. He put in permanent punctal
plugs and gave me Restasis. I think it helped a little, but by 5pm. I need
more otc drops.
Is there anything else that could be done. I was hoping that this treatment
would have taken care of it. thanks alot

I'm a 41yr-old male dry eye sufferer. You may want to explore this

Lots of people there in similar circumstances. Much discussion about
what works for people and what doesn't.

Best of luck. Dry eyes is amazingly not fun....

Try theratears, they seem to work very well for dry eyes, better than most
other artificial tears
