My eyes get dry when i walk, because my eyes are sensitive in the winter when the wind or air is going against my eyes, is there any other solution besides getting hooked on eye drops and sleeping for 12 hours ( any natural cures maybe)?
Thank you in advance

Try Systane liquid tears, they helped me a lot, and they were recommended by my opthamolgist

The use of sunglasses help.
Here is more on a website I found. It does talk about artificial tears though with other things.
Treating Dry Eyes
There is no known cure for most case of dry eyes, but usually, the condition can be controlled so that discomfort is reduced and clear vision can be maintained. In most cases, doctors will recommend a treatment program similar to what is
described below.
Blink often: Blinking often is something that people with dry eyes must make a conscious effort to do, especially when focusing on something for an extended period of time. Blinking is the only way to spread tear film over the eyes. When people are involved in activities such as reading, driving, sewing, using a computer or watching television, they tend to blink less frequently than normal, causing their eyes to dry and tire more quickly. Making a conscious effort to blink frequently can lessen the problem. In addition, many people have an incomplete blink — they unknowingly do not close their eyes all the way when they blink; therefore, it is important for people with dry eyes to remember to close their eyes completely when blinking.
Conserve Natural Tears: As mentioned earlier, dry climates, wind, indoor heating, air conditioning and some other environmental factors tend to dry eyes more quickly than more humid conditions. Making an effort to conserve natural tears by avoiding direct contact with wind and fans is helpful. Maintaining a more humid home environment can also be beneficial. It is possible to increase a home's humidity by adjusting the humidity setting on a furnace humidifier, buying a portable humidifier that can be placed in any room or even setting out bowls of water around the home.
Another way to help conserve natural tears is to wear glasses on a regular basis. Glasses that provide some side protection are particularly helpful. Even if a person does not need corrective lenses to focus properly, the consistent use of sunglasses while outdoors will help to reduce the evaporation of natural tears, acting much like a windshield on a car. Some people with extremely dry eyes have found some relief by moving to, or vacationing in, more humid climates

I don't think there is any natural cures for this. I actually have the same problem. The best thing you can do is go to the doctor or use eye drops. Drops that work really well for me and don't burn are Baush & Lomb single use drops. They are ment for people who wear contacts but they work even if you don't. Hope this helps.

Over the counter natural tears. Try wearing sun glasses for better comfort to your eyes. If your eyes need moisture use the drops; they are saline based, harmless, and soothing. Why suffer in 2006?

Hmm.. I really dont think there is. I have this exact same problem during the winter and I just have to use eyes drops. That's really all there is. I also have chapped lips no matter how much chap stick I put on.

other than using visine i don't really know of anything that would help. maybe wearing shades to prevent some of the wind from damaging your lens.
