I did not originally start this eye drop because I sleep with my eyes open. I’ve had a positive ANA for years and borderline Sjogrens but not elevated enough to get a diagnosis. As I age it has become much worse getting corneal abrasions to frequently. Nothing was working so my eye doctor said you might also sleep with your eyes open. He did a test, I do sleep with them partially open. I now paper tape at night which has helped a lot but far from the cure of this dryness. I’m a moth in about with new serum drops and will hope for the best. They did recommend tubes as well at 3 month visit. I also have dry moth and had swallowing issues. I had an endoscopy to widen esophagus. It has helped and be repeated when needed.

I have extremely dry mouth also along with eyes I’m working with an nutrition specialist and drinking most of my meals or having soft food mostly it is still sticking to throat and mouth. Is much harder as I age. Terrible peeling constant lips. Just not finding anything to help. Even last busy at mayo with new dermatologist has not helped, very frustrating! Each medication they give me seems to make it worse. Glad this procedure has helped you.
