Here’s Help for Dry Eyes
Dry eyes is a common condition that occurs when your tears aren’t able to provide adequate
lubrication for your eyes. Tears can be inadequate for many reasons. For example, dry eyes may
occur if you don’t produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears.
Dry eyes feel uncomfortable. If you have dry eyes, your eyes may sting or burn. You may experience
dry eyes in certain situations, such as on an airplane, in an air-conditioned room, while riding a bike,
or after looking at a computer screen for a few hours.
For most people with occasional or mild dry-eye symptoms, it’s enough to regularly use over-the-
counter eye drops (artificial tears). If your symptoms are persistent and more serious, you have other
options. What your doctor will recommend (which can include drugs to reduce eyelid inflammation,
tear-stimulating medications, and other alternatives) depends on what’s causing your dry eyes.

What Your Pharmacist Should Know About You
“Help your pharmacist to know you and understand any limitations to your
care,” says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Mary E. Kremzner,
Pharm. D., M.P.H. “Pharmacists really want to help people get the maximum benefit from what’s
prescribed with the least amount of risk.”
For example, some large pills are hard to swallow. “The pharmacist will know the drug’s makeup and
whether you can crush it without altering its effectiveness or release rate,” Kremzner says. Another
risk is interactions—food-drug or drug-drug. “For example, if you take a certain blood thinner, don’t
eat too many dark leafy greens, because the vitamin K can decrease the drug’s effect,” says the FDA’s
Lindsay Wagner, Pharm. D. “The interaction can depend on the patient, the drug, or how often you
eat certain foods.”
Your pharmacist should know:
Everything you take for your health: all medications, dietary supplements, herbal supplements,
and vitamins
Your medical history and experience with medications, including allergic reactions and side effects
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you have trouble swallowing pills, opening bottles, reading labels, or remembering when to take
your medicine
