Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having dry eyes and you are on treatment with extralube eye drops.
The basic treatment of dry ryes is by use of artificial tears eye drops.
I usually prefer to use preservative free artificial tears eye drops like refresh tears.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
