I have severe dry eyes as does my wife. Dry eyes get worse as we get older, especially in women menopausal or post-menopausal. I would strongly suggest your read about Restasis which my wife and I have been on for over 10 years with excellent results, there is a newer, stronger one called Cequa but it is much more expensive. I would also suggest you find within a driveable distance a eye MD ophthalmologist that specializes in corneal diseases. There are two types of dry eyes, actually doctors call the problem Ocular surface disorder, mine is aqueous deficiency (no tears, dry mouth) and my wife, evaporative type (eyes water constantly).
