Dry eyes are new to me and i have noticed that my left eye has been very dry,irritated and twitchy. Can one eye be drier than the other. I don't notice my right eye being so dry.
Another question, if you use restasis drops, do you have to use them continously or once they start making tears you can quit...Also what are some good eye drops that feel soothing and good... Thanks

Yes, one eye can be drier than the other. Retasis doesn't make tears; it's intended to work by reducing inflammation that may be blocking tear production. It's not a cure so you'd have to continue using it long-term.

As far as good lubricating drops, the best thing to do is try out the various products that you find on the drug store shelf until you find one that feels soothing for you. It's best to avoid those that contain preservatives.
