Suggest Treatment For Chronic Dryness In The Eye

I'm almost positive I suffer from chronic dry eye, I had thought a lot about seeing a Dr to get some help with it, specifically I thought about it after seeing advertisements for Restasis, but then a friend told me they asked about it And the dr said no that they wouldn't prescribe it until they were much older? What's the qualifications for someone to be placed on these drops?
