Treatment of dry eyes might include: 1  Adding tears by using artificial tears and lubricating ointments. 2  Conserving your tears by closing the small opening (punctum) of the channel that connects the eye with the nose. 3  Prescription medication such as: RESTASIS to stimulate your own tear production.
