Dry eyes and lubricating drops
Hello sir, I am just fed up by using lubricating eye drops and I don't want to use them for dry eyes anymore. What should I do? Is there any permanent solution so that I can fix this issue as it was normal earlier.

Everything said by other doctors is perfect as there is no permanent solution.
If you are fed up of using drops, you can ask your doctor to apply TEMPORARY PUNCTAL PLUGS which ll help you to retain your own natural tears in your eyes ans thus reduce use of drops.
If you are comfortable with these plugs, you can use it for long times too..
