Natural health: I suffer from chronic dry eye

Is there a natural treatment I could use instead of steroids and antibiotic drops for dry eye?

Q1. I suffer from chronic dry eye and blepharitis. I control the outbreaks with over-the-counter washes, wipes and applications of heat when it’s painful. Is there a natural treatment I could use instead of steroids and antibiotic drops?

A. How frustrating for you. Dry and burning eyes, with additional symptoms of swelling, itching, crusting, and sensitivity to light is difficult to manage, particularly when it can seem like you are getting on top of symptoms only to have them return again.
