What is Sjogrens Syndrom? I was diagnosed with a blocked tear duct and my left eye is so dry. I just didn’t know if this was related to it. I’m just now trying to research everything I can on my condition. Thank you!

Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune condition like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus etc. One of the symptoms of Sjogren's is dry eye (but not a blocked tear duct) also dry mouth and other conditions (very easy to google & this site has links). There is a blood test that is done. (Believe its ANA levels). There is no cure for Sjogrens only ways to treat symptoms. (Like artificial tears for dry eyes).
