@ninjawife   It sounds like your eye doctor is helping you a lot.  I have dealt with dry eyes for over 20 years and also use eye drops and fish oil.  What brands of those two things did your doctor recommend?


@NickNack @deb5555  The fish oil is De 3 Omega Benefits from PRN.  They have to be specifically recommended by a doctor and ordered through a toll free number.  I use Systane Hydrate eye drops 1 drop 2-3x/day.

I have a condition that causes dry eyes and eye drops no longer worked for me.
So now I have punctal plugs that don't open the tear ducts, but blocks  them so that tears stay in my eyes longer. Medicare pays for mine 100%.

Thank you @ninjawife .  I'll ask my optometrist about that brand of fish oil.

I take TheraTears which is a combination of fish oil and flaxseed oil.
