Suggest Treatment For Dryness In The Eye Caused By Antihistamines

Hi, my name is Leila and I am 18 years old. I weigh 120 pounds and i am 5 feet and 1 inch. I have been suffering from insomnia for about a month now and I have been taking some antihistamines to help me sleep. Unfortunately these antihistamines caused my eyes to dry out, so I want to know what i can do to help cure my eyes.

You should not use anti histamine for sleep. If you think dry eye is for using antihistaminic, then first thing is to stop it. You can consult eye doctor for confirmation of dry eye. if present then an artificial tear drop is to be used.
