Previous eye drop products that were slapped with recalls in March, May, August and October of this year were due to either bacterial contamination or unsanitary conditions; they were sold at popular retailers such as CVS, Target, Rite Aid and Walmart, as well as online. The first batch of recalled eye drops from March caused eye infections in dozens of eye drop users and several cases of blindness; a handful of individuals required eyeball removal surgery and there were at least four associated deaths. If your dry eyes are making your life miserable, call an eye doctor today. They can help you figure out the cause of your dry eyes as well as the proper treatment. Some cases of dry eye require more than eye drops, depending on the severity and underlying cause.

Your doctor may also be able to suggest dietary changes and supplements to increase tear production.

Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when your eyes produce the wrong type of tear film, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. The act of blinking produces a three-layer film of tears to spread over the eye, which keeps the eye surface smooth and clear, and is essential for proper vision.Many cases of dry eyes are easily remedied with a basic over-the-counter eye drop (formulated for dry eyes). However, severe dry eyes or dry eyes that don't feel better after using OTC drops call for more serious intervention.
