Can visit ADEH in Gurugram.. anti depressants can cause dry eye as a side effect which can persist even after the drugs are stopped . Use any tear drops frequently till you see an eye doctor. Maskati Eye Clinic opposite Charni road station east, Mumbai

Dryness in the eyes needs continual instillation of wetting drops. Anti depressant medicines also lead to worsening, though you have stopped them. Summers see a worsening due to excessive evaporation and aircon use. Increase the frequency of instillation of drops. If symptoms persist a complete check up may be required.
