The claim that all eye drops for dry eye contain steroids is incorrect. Many common dry eye treatments, such as cyclosporine, diquafosol, and rebamipide, are non-steroidal.

The claim asserts that all dry eye drops contain steroids. Multiple retrieved papers discuss non-steroidal treatments for dry eye disease, including cyclosporine, diquafosol, and rebamipide. Therefore, the claim is clearly false.
