I have dry eye! I also have an autoimmune disease that can make that a secondary issue. BUT the dry eye thing was diagnosed before (years before) the diagnosis of the A.D. Anyway, whenever I've gone in for my eye exams the opthamalogist has always told me to use OTC drops for them. I change out the brands and have had good results. Some days I only have to use them once and other days a few times. Things the doctor has told me, that I can do is not have fans directly hit me, to hold a warm/moist cloth over my eyes (he even sold me a microwave pack to use) and blink often when on the computer. Dry eye happens for us as we age----another "glorious" side-effect of that to remind us we're not as we once were.
