Hi.

I also have dry eyes. I've been told that I can't wear contacts ever again - only to get to the point where I can.

Here are some of the things that I do:

Humidifier running - close to you if possible during the day
Use "Blink Tears" often during the day
Use "Blink Gel Tears" at night. This is a thicker substance and stays in your eyes longer.
Don't have a ceiling fan running at night.
Don't have an open window right by you at night.

At night, your eyes aren't totally shut when you sleep. So, having a humidifier in your bedroom will really help along with no ceiling fan or open window. Also, I do the Blink Tears before I go to bed.

I don't wear contacts every day. I wear them 3-4 times a week - not on weekends. I have glasses that I wear when I can.

I hope this helps.
