Summary
Artificial tears are eyedrops used to lubricate dry eyes and help maintain moisture on the outer surface of the eyes. There are two categories of artificial tears: eyedrops with preservatives and preservative-free. If none of these treatments work, it is important to make an appointment with an eye doctor to suggest other treatments.

Summary
Warm Compresses. Tears are made of oil, water, and mucus. Your eyes need all three parts to stay moist and healthy. Inflamed and flaky eyelids may clog the oil-making glands along the edge of your lid and lead to dry eye.
Wash Crusty Lashes. Cleaning your eyelids, as well as the surrounding skin and hair, can help get any lid inflammation under control. Drop a bit of baby shampoo or mild soap on your fingertips and gently massage your closed eye, near the base of your eyelashes.
Blink More. Staring at a computer curbs the amount of times you blink per minute. So try to blink often when you’re online. Follow the 20/20 rule: close your eyes every 20 minutes for 20 seconds.
Eat (Naturally) Oily Fish. Salmon and tuna, for example, or sardines, trout, and mackerel all contain omega-3 fatty acids. Research suggests these healthy fats help the oil-making glands in your eye work better, which can ease irritation.
