Try to get a good night's rest. Avoid consuming large amounts of caffinated beverages. Make artificial tears a regular part of your treatment. Lubricating drops are not habit forming or additive. It is my opinion that a natural tear will be more effective in refreshing and soothing the eye.
Optimum improvements are gain when used on a regular basis.
Not just when your eyes are bothering you. Allergan produces a full line of this type of artificial tears. I have seen first hand the successes that Allergan's products can achieve. Allergan's products are effective when treating the various levels of dry eye. Allergan has been kind enough to provide me a limited supply of samples.
