Hello
It seems from the history that you are having dry and you are on treatment with systane eye drops.
Systane eye drops is a lubricating eye drops and is the first line of treatment of dry eyes.
If dry eyes are not responding to systane, cyclosporine eye drops or steroid eye drops or punctal plugs need to be considered.
Thank you
