Answers:

No, it is not safe.

It will be helpful to put artificial tear drops into your eyes as often as is needed (every hour if necessary) to keep your eyes comfortable. These drops are available with or without a prescription from a pharmacy. Ointments are also available to provide longer lasting or overnight lubrication. If you need to use the drops and ointments frequently (more than four times daily), it is advisable to avoid those containing preservatives that can irritate your eyes.

Things you can do to help yourself:
Apply artificial tear drops as required
Use humidifiers in your home, especially if you have central heating
Drink plenty of fluids to keep the body well hydrated
Try to blink your eyes often to produce more tears especially when you are concentrating on a task
Try to avoid fumes, dust and smoke which can irritate your eyes
Try not to rub your eyes as this may make them sore
Wear wrap-around sunglasses outdoors to stop the wind drying your eyes too quickly

Try 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil/day.
Also a Fish oil supplement is very helpful.
