What are the best eye drops for dry eyes?

According to WebMD, while artificial teardrops and ointments are primarily used to treat dry eyes, there is no specific type of eye drop that works well for everyone. Individuals with chronic dry eyes must experiment with treatments until they find the one that works best for them.

Artificial teardrops are sold over the counter, and those with chronic dry eyes should use them even when their eyes feel fine, suggests WebMD. Restasis is an FDA-approved prescription eye drop that helps the eyes increase their own natural tear production with continued use. Steroid eye drops are also used to treat dry eyes, and they should only be used as a temporary solution.
