Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having eye irritation with redness and watering. These symptoms are because of dry eyes as told by your doctor. Since the condition is not responding to treatment with artificial tears, the next options of treatment have to be considered.
The next options are use of anti-inflammatory drugs like cyclosporine, steroids and use of punctal plugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
