If your eyes continue to feel uncomfortable and sensitive to light despite using these drops, it may indicate chronic dry eyes, inflammation, or other persistent ocular surface problems. You should consult an ophthalmologist for a thorough eye examination. Based on the findings, they may recommend prescription anti-inflammatory drops, punctal plugs, eyelid care, or other specialised treatments.
