yes but using Theoluz UD regularly helps. Drops are on prescription.

When I was using Rhopressa drops, my eyes constantly watered. My doctor said I was having an allergic reaction and discontinued the drops. Also dry eyes can constantly water.

It may be that you are not using your dry eye drops enough throughout the day. Try to increase the number of dry eye drops you use on a daily basis. If you find increasing the amount is beneficial, stick to that amount each day.

Cold weather and central heating can also make dry eyes worse. Wearing wraparound glasses will protect your eyes from the cold winds and chill.

You can but ceramic humidifiers, that you fill with water and hang on the radiator. They will help keep moisture in the air.

Using a heated eye mask when needed will also help to soothe the eyes.
