Dry eyes

The pharmacist and optician have both said I have dry eyes, which is odd as the won’t stop watering if I am in the wind or bright sunshine. The optician said it comes with age.

I have been taking the drops but they are not doing much good, but I have been told to use a warm eye pad heated in the microwave. I need to do this night and morning for a few weeks.

My question is has anyone else had experience of dripping eyes and what remedies have they used ?

I use Hycosan eye drops. Theyre very good and contain Hyaluronic acid which l believe is good for repairing tissue. And Viscotears (carbomer) at night.
