When I navigated through the Baush and Lomb site to their page on dry eye, I found it laughably simple. I have suffered from dry eye for years, and a series of opthamologists have helped me manage the condition. One suggestion, depending on the cause of the dry eyes, is to use warm compresses on the eyes for ten minutes a day. This helps open fat ducts that might be closed, and keeps tears from evaporating as quickly. The type of moisturizing drops used can be critical in making a dry eye sufferer's day bearable. Preservative free saline in individual vials is terrific if you can buy in bulk, and there are other options with varying levels of lubricant on the market. Other prescription options include oral antibiotics originally intended for acne or Restasis eye drops, which help increase tear production. Your link didn’t work for me.
