Have you spoken to your optician about this? Often, they are better than GPs for eye issues. I have dry eyes but luckily I find they go away with hycosan normal eye drops. If you wear contact lenses, it might be worth changing the type. If you don't, there may be other options the optician can suggest.

You have to find the reason why your eyes are dry and act accordingly. Eyedrops not always the only answer. I have dry eyes from weather and wearing contacts, in my case eyedrops usually help. However, if it is a side effect of medications they more likely won't help.
