I have dry eye syndrome, apparently. The doctor recommended Blink which is ok, but not great. Any recommendations for OTC drops?

You may also get relief using an ointment at night. Apparently our eyes also dry out at night. The best one for that is Systane ointment. If you use it, your eyes will be a tiny bit blurry when you wake up, until you wash your face.
I hope you get relief and I'll be looking for an update!

Just about everything irritates my eyes, especially preservatives.
+1 on the Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil or else lots of walnuts and flaxseed oil and canola oil) and also Evening Primrose oil or Borage seed oil (more concentrated) for anti-inflammatory gamma linolenic acid.
I also learned from an eye doctor to put a warm, wet washcloth on my eyes for a minute or 2 once or twice per day. If your oil glands in your eyelids tend to be blocked due to inflammation, your tears dry up too fast because they don't have that oil component and this helps keep the oils flowing and really helps with itching and irritation. Temporarily...
If you wake up with extremely irritated eyes, it might be dust mite allergy and washing your sheets weekly with 30-40 drops of tea tree oil plus using a allergen-proof pillow "case" also helps a whole lot.
I hate meds; can you tell? :joker:
Good luck and please update.
Wile, your mom may be able to give up using the Restasis eventually. I know someone else who was able to stop using it after using it for a while.

She'll itch about the cost, but depends on them too much..argh

I use these as well and like them. I don't find they last quite as long as the other ones, but I liked the fact that they seemed healthier for my eyes.
ROUTINE: LI, enhancer, gel, plop with Curlease towel, serum product (either CIAB or Gel-les'c), clip & diffuse.
Too many favourite products to list ... I finally have my routine that works and alot of products to choose from. My product stash is huge, but well loved !!!
