You should give your problem in detail. Dry eye can be diagnosed by invest i gation. Strips are available to measure tear film and confirm dry eye. If dry eye is confirmed then best is to use refresh tear drop 3 times daily. Progressions syndrome is to be excluded. If so sealing of punctum to retain tear can be done.
