You want to find a vitamin with the AREDS2 formula. So, Ocuvite or Preservision with AREDS2 are over-the-counter. Lunovus makes one that you can order online that is a multivitamin and AREDS2 vitamin combined (https://lunovus.com/collections/maintaining-macular-health/products/areds-2macular-support-plus-multi?variant=43021575159995). I hope that helps.
Hydro eye vitamin
Omega -3 fatty acids ( such as fish oil, flax seed, or kelp oil) are useful vitamins to increase tear production and improve dry eye.
If you are Vitamin A deficient, then you need to take a supplement. Other vitamins are necessary for all functions of the body, not just the eyes. If you eat a "normal" diet with enough fresh vegetables and some beans and fish, you should not need any supplements unless you are suffering from malabsorption. And that, my friend, is another story.
A nutritious diet with plenty of fruits & vegetables, drinking lots of water and having good humidity at home will help. This can be supplemented with non- preserved artificial tears.
Flax tablets
There is no good scientific evidence that vitamin supplements help in dry eye.
Dry eye drops and omega 3 fatty acids , fish oil
