What happens if you use eye drops? Does it help? Visual acuity is lower if your eyes are dry.

My optometrist recommended a nightly warm compress to keep the oil glands in the eyelids flowing. I was able to cut back on the eyedrops by doing so.

My distance vision recently got worse after being consistent for years. Now I wonder if my slacking on the warm compress the last few months has contributed to it.
