Anyone here with severe dry eyes?

1. Celluvisc is a very viscous preparation that tends to stay put

a lot longer than the liquid tears. Tears Naturale also makes an ointment you squeeze into your lower lid just before the lights go off and that has the best chance of lasting all night.

This is what you need to do if your dry eyes are waking you up. If the ointment doesn't work, then it's time to see your eye doc and talk about tear duct plugs (punctal plugs). Those prevent tears and other preparations from draining into the nasal cavity and can buy your vision a lot of time.

There are also tear stimulants out there, but I don't know anyone who uses them. You have to have a lot of functioning lachrymal tissue (tear generating tissue) for them to work.

My own Sjogren's tends to wax and wane. Sometimes I need to use liquid tears all day and ointment at night, other times I don't need anything.
