There are so many things that can worsen dry eyes like excessive computer work or reading, medication side effects, hormonal or nutritional inbalances, arthritic or automimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus or polymyalgia, and other systemic diseases like thyroid disease.  Use preservative free artificial tears frequently and reduce computer work, rest your eyes, take omega 3 and flax seed oil supplements and see an ophthalmolgist about your problem.
