Dry eyes are a common condition. The dryness occurs when your tear film doesn’t produce ample moisture for your eyes. You can also get dry eyes from contacts.Common symptoms of dry eyes include stinging and itchy eyes, redness and burning, eye fatigue and sensitivity to light, blurred vision, difficulties when dealing with contact lenses, and a sensation that something is lodged in your eye. 
Luckily, you can naturally treat dry eyes at home. Chronic dry eyes treatment may be more involved, however, and require consultation with a medical professional

1. Apply warm eye compresses
Warm compresses provide nearly instant relief for the symptoms of dry eyes. The compress’s moisture delivers lubrication to the eyes, and the warmth from the compress reduces the discomfort from dry eyes. Apply warm eye compresses using these steps:

• Clean your hands with soap and water.
• Soak a clean towel or washcloth in warm water.
• Ring the towel or washcloth out until it is damp.
• Close your eyelids and place the damp cloth over your eyes for approximately five minutes.

For best results, use a warm eye compress once in the morning and once at night.

2. Take omega-3 supplements
Research shows that omega-3 supplementation increases oil production in your tear film. Omega-3 fatty acids alleviate dry eye symptoms and reduce the need to use artificial tears.  Before taking an omega-3 supplement, please speak with your healthcare provider to ensure it’s suitable for you

3. Use castor oil eye drops
Castor oil comes naturally from castor beans. Eye drops containing castor oil help reduce the dryness in your eyes by building up the lipids in your tears. The oil also acts as a small film over your eyes. The film reduces the amount of moisture that evaporates from your eyes

4. Try running a humidifier
Investing in a humidifier is an excellent idea if you have chronically dry eyes. Humidifiers fill air spaces with added moisture. In environments with the added moisture in the air, less liquid gets evaporated from your eyes.

5. Use natural tears eye drops
Natural tears eye drops contain artificial tears and a thickening agent. The artificial tears simulate actual tears we produce to lubricate the eyes, and the thickening agent keeps the moisture on the surface of your eyes longer. These eye drops are available over the counter and with a prescription.

The medication Restasis is a prescription-only tear eye drop containing Cyclosporine. Acuvue offers natural tear eye drops without the need for a prescription. If you’re suffering from chronically dry eyes, it may be beneficial to speak with a medical professional about prescription-grade eyedrops. But if you only suffer from dry eyes every so often, it may be wise to seek an over the counter eye drop product.
