I had cataract surgery 4 months ago and was prescribed systane ultra eye drops with polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol to use twice daily for a year. It's quite expensive are there any other options for managing dry eyes that might be more affordable? Sometimes my eyes still feel dry even with the drops.
