    Recently, I have had some issues with dry eyes, but I have a terrible time with drops. It's very stressful and feels like a punch in the face. Is there some other way that I can treat dry eyes?

    Does blinking more help with your dry eyes? I don't like drops either, I miss my eye most of the time when I am trying to put the drops in my eyes which is a waste when it is a prescription.

    Your pharmacy should also sell an "eye cup", it usually comes with a bottle of eye solution that you use it with. You basically fill the cup with the solution, and press it against your eye to form a seal, then tip your head back and let if flush out your eye. Obviously this isn't really practical to use when you're out an about, but at home, it does a good job of moisturizing your eyes, and flushing out any irritants. It doesn't sting or hurt your eye at all, and I personally find it much easier (and less nerve wrecking) than trying to place drops in my eyes.
