Which medication is specifically indicated for eye dryness?

Artificial tears
Ketorolac
Naphazoline
Brimonidine

The correct answer is: Artificial tears

Artificial tears are specifically indicated for eye dryness. Artificial tears are designed to mimic the composition of natural tears and help lubricate the eye, providing relief for dryness. Option B, Ketorolac, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat pain, inflammation, and swelling in the eye, but it is not indicated for eye dryness. Option C, Naphazoline, is a decongestant that is used to relieve redness and swelling in the eye, but it is not indicated for eye dryness. Option D, Brimonidine, is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist used for the treatment of glaucoma, but it is not indicated for eye dryness. Thus, the correct answer is A Artificial tears.
