Artificial tears or lubricating drops.
First, try artificial tears. I like systane complete, but there are a lot of good brands.
Some, but not all, of my top picks are Soothe XP, Refresh Relieva, Refresh Advanced, Systane Complete, Systane Balance, Systane Ultra, Lumify, Theratears, ...
And A daily regiment of hot compresses with lid massage over the closed eyelids to get the oil glands in the lids flowing. See your eye doctor for specific tailored treatment based on the source of your dry eye. Staying hydrated and having Omega 3 fish/flax seed oil in your diet is beneficial as well.
Artificial tears, corticosteroids, punctual plugs, etc. Depends on the cause/type of dry eyes.
OTC artificial tears, omega-3 vitamins.
Eat omega 3 in your diet, use lubrication around your eyes and use artificial tears.
