Q. I have very dry eyes that are red and sore. My doctor said to use artificial tears, but they have not made much improvement. Any suggestions?
A. Eye doctors we have consulted recommend Systane BALANCE and Soothe XP. These formulations are designed to protect the surface of the eye and replenish the tear film lipid layer (Clinical Ophthalmology, online June 10, 2011).
To learn a lot more about dry eyes and a new device that can help ease some dry eye symptoms you may want to listen to our one-hour radio show about eye health. More information about LipiFlow for dry eyes here.
