Did you know that the older we get the less tears our eyes produce? This leads to the dry, gritty feeling we get. What can you do to help: ... Over the counter eye drops such as I-DROP Pur Gel. Taking supplements such as Ocumetics Dry Eye Formula. Using a warm compress such as OcuSci Dry Eye Compress (warm as you can handle) for a minimum of 10 minutes. Drink lots of water. Blink your eyes fully and often! Do not rub your eyes.
