For an OTC dry eye drop product, my optician recommended Refresh Optive Mega-3 lubricant eye drops enhanced with flaxseed oil. I don't know how special they are, depends on how bad your condition is. The 3 active ingredients listed on the box are carboxymethylcellulose sodium 0.5%, glycerin 1%, and polysorbate 80 0.5%. No warnings listed as to overuse.
It would be nice to see if a medication review has been done comparing the different products. Like under Drug.com or similar website.
Systane is a well known brand....https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRNTR8Q8 At Amazon - $22 for 2 bottles, 10 ml per bottle.

@laughlin1947 I got the Systane drops but I find this bottle difficult to dispense. Although it’s full, takes me lots of squeezing to get drop out, so long that my hand has moved and drop doesn’t get into my eye.
