I also developed dry eyes about a year ago, and discovered that artificial preservatives in eye lubricants can possibly damage the ocular surface, especially a product called BAK. Here is a link to an article that discusses the various products and preservatives:

A few months ago I switched to Soothe lubricant eye ointment by Bausch & Lomb, which is preservative free. |
Thanks for this - I used to be on 'Clear Eyes Plus' for my eyes - the individual tubes with no preservative which worked but would sometimes crystalise. Then about a year ago my optometrist put me on 'Systane balance' which contains a small amount of oil and works well (twice daily). I see it contains a small amount (0.001%) of Polyquad preservative - which the link you provided doesn't give particular warnings about but I will bookmark the site and see if it gets updated.
