you might want to consult with a doctor before doing so.OK?
My mother had sjogren's syndrome, I have dry eyes also and through my studies have found a few things that help. Take Vitamin A palmitate capsules - vitamin A helps with the mucous membranes keeping them moist. Use the eye drops for sensitive eyes - one of the brand is Allergan's Refresh Celluvisc - they are for severe dry eyes and come in small containers that you can carry with you and use anytime - http://www.amazon.com/Allergan-Celluvisc…
Also, there are a number of things that make this worse. Heated rooms are a problem, and so is exposure to VOCs like in new carpeting, paint, new furniture (that new carpet or paint smell is actually chemicals, volatile chemicals that are know irritants for eyes, and breathing and can cause skin irritation.
For moisture I always keep a pot of water sitting around to evaporate and increase the air's humidity. You can operate an air moisturizer but one of the easiest things to do is to take a hand towel, wet it and hang it up to dry. That adds enough moisture to the air and does not cost anything. Also, if you have plants that are watered - they add moisture to the air. The most important thing I've found is to have moist air when sleeping, and I wet at night before going to bed and hang it to dry.
And also, eating moist fruits like peaches, melon, plums and fruits high in vitamin A - they help moisturize the body. I suggested my mother do these and it helped her incredibly - for me as well. You can also drink water that has electrolytes that help - it contains potassium and that helps regulate the amount of fluid in your body - and potassium is also high in bananas, raisins, avocado, carrot juice, tomato juice, beans, milk, almonds, peanuts, halibut, tuna. Watch out for eating anything spicy, that's a killer. And limit consumption of salt, coffee, soda, and flour products. Hope these all help you.
