Dry Eyes Medication

Dry eyes occur when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. This condition can cause discomfort, irritation, and blurred vision. Medications, such as artificial tears, anti-inflammatory drops, or prescription treatments, can help alleviate symptoms by providing moisture or addressing underlying causes of dryness.

Generic Medications for Dry Eyes

Common generic medications for dry eyes include artificial tears such as carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and sodium hyaluronate. Additionally, cyclosporine (Restasis) and lifitegrast (Xiidra) are prescription options that help increase tear production and reduce inflammation.
