Has anyone else had this problem and is there anything i can do to help get past it. Also i have 3 air purifiers runnung in my home all the time. Does anyone think this constant air circulation has anything to do with the dryness?

They told her just keep using the drops because everyone will react different and it may not work on you. Then if you rub your eyes you can tear it. I would go back to the surgeon if you are allowed adjustments and see if anything can be done cuz I know I would be able to live with that.
