Try heat pads over the entire eye socket and gently massage the nasal join between the eyes to assist in loosening & circulating the natural lubricant.
I also use Cationorm eye drops one drop each morning , noon & evening.
Hi ,I use a prescription eyedrop Restasis,I also use an eye mask (use hot or cold.)you can get on Amazon.Use at least 3x a day warm, really feels great and very relaxing. I also use Refresh Optive fusion OTC .eye drops 3x a day. Combination really helps me .I live in Canada .
@shirlee05 I was just diagnosed my doctor has me on Sustain 2 drops in each eye 4 times a day. I'm spending a fortune I want her to prescribe a eye drop my part D will cover, no luck so far.

I have plugs in my tear ducts and it has really helped me. I thought it was a strange idea when the doctor suggested them but he was right about it helping.
I have had Sjogrens for 8 years and dry eyes have gotten very bad with cornea pitting. Gritty and burn and blurry vision.
I soak eyes, use Refresh Mega 3 drops, Celluvisc , and Serum drops . At night i use systane ointment and gel drops,
I tried Xiidra and Restasis, unsuccessfully. Also plugs and Prokera patch.
I have the same. Takes daily maintenance. For dry mouth: brush 2X daily for gums and teeth; waterpik once a day; xylimelts or biotene.
Dry eyes: gently scrub eye lids in the morning; systane liquid tears; PM ointment at night; RX for pataday. I am finding that an eye mask at night helps keep moisture in.
@marye2 Thank you! Good advice! I do pretty much the same,but I must me careful with anything with xylitol as it upset by digestive system! I found out the hard way. But, I’m also lactose intolerant. So it took a bit of research to figure out the xylitol issues. Warm wet washcloths or packs do help a lot. I suppose because it adds moisture.

My Restasis prescription was $147 with insurance until I asked for a generic. Now it's $57. It's for 1 month but I use it longer.

2 ReactionsThe heat pads really help NATURALLY too. Doctor said 2x day. And they are calming. I say my prayers then.

1 ReactionSustained drops work wonders. Ask a eye doctor for help. There are prescription eye drops that also work.
