Are you interested in getting the easier and economic things ,done in a more expensive and difficult way.
Though it's funny too.
But for your information
1st. When you will collect the tears ,you will waste lot of your precious time and over and above it will get infected inspite of all precaution
So please consult an ophthalmologist for your problems and don't try such ideas

Dry Eyes is a very complex phenomenon, and is not always caused due to deficiency of tears.
Most people with dry eyes are able to produce enough tears but it is deficiency in quality of tears or something we call as tear film insufficiency.
So kindly get a proper dry eye evaluation and treat the root cause.
Kindly get an online consultation to address all your concerns
