I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I came across this study comparing Cyclosporine (the main ingredient in Restasis) with Vitamin A eye-drops, and they were found to be equally effective.

Do you know if there are any OTC drops (or any for that matter) that contain Vitamin A?

Yes, Viva preservative-free drops have vitamin A, and I believe the nutratear drops sold at this web-site have some A in them as well as Vit. b12.
