Eye Dryness after 16 months of LASIK

2017-09-25 15:56:28
Its been 16 months since I have had my LASIK surgery. My eyesight is absolutely clear now, however I am still facing eye dryness and have to use artificial tear lubricants. 1) Can you confirm why is this still persisting ? 2) Can you suggest some medicine (tablets) to reduce eye dryness permanently ?
