Chronic dry eye syndrome: What helps dry, itchy, swollen eyes?

Something that has helped me is the Systane nighttime ointment (not gel). I've been using it every night for about 6 months at the suggestion from the eye doctor and it carries over into the next day. It isn't till around 2 PM the next day that I use some Refresh eye drops then back to the nighttime regime later.

Yes, I’ve used Systane (or previously another brand) ointment nightly for over ten years. It helps greatly, but is expensive and inconvenient. I have to plan around it if I need to drive or read the next morning. Now that Wallgreens brand is no longer available, Systane is the only brand I can find. Walmart brand is also never available. I buy Systane online in bulk, but it’s still expensive and my insurance doesn’t cover it.
