Dry : Dry eyes can be caused by numerous things. A complete eye exam is necessary to determine the causes. Usually artificial tears, lid hygiene, and even changing the type of contact lenses may help reduce your eye irritation. Contacts made out of material allowing good flow of oxygen to the surface of the eye is highly recommended. Also, if all the above fails, consider placing punctal plugs in your eye to reduce dry eye symptoms. http://www.eye-socal.com/eye-care-information/191-eyelid-how-is-dry-eye-treated-with-punctal-plugs.html.

Dry eye: I would try punctal plugs and continuing frequent artificial tears. See an eye doctor.

Treat cause: The best way to make your dry eyes better is to find out the cause of your dry eye disease. Environmental exposure, decrease mucin , aqueous, lipid, pharmacologic, hormonal etc. Get an exam to determine the cause so you can get a customized treatment plan.
