dry eye drops

Lubricating eye solution

Dry eye drops is a shorthand for eye drops that treat dry eyes—lubricating solutions that supplement natural tears when the eyes don't produce enough moisture.

The phrase sounds paradoxical, as if the drops themselves were dry: I need to pick up some dry eye drops at the pharmacy.
