Dry Eye:
Daytime: Bion Tears. Completely non-allergic. As often as needed.
              Costs $4 less at Wal Mart than at Walgreens or Osco-Savon.

Night: Puralube ointment, made by Fougera, which is about 1/3 or 1/4
         the cost of Bausch & Lomb PM - same ingredients.
         Here is the URL - or link, if it comes through as a link -
         to contact Fougera to ask where to get it (maybe a store near
         you, maybe from them?). Just buy in quantity to justify the
         shipping, maybe:
<http://www.fougera.com/consumers/contact.asp>

Dry Mouth: Biotene mouth rinse helps.
                This costs far less at Wal Mart, too.
Biotene makes a dry mouth toothpaste, too.

I have for years worn Fitovers..which are wonderful looking, perfect for UV
and dryness protection for me, at least.  They are not a tight seal (which I
would hate), but certainly good enough for me.

I am on two prescription drugs, Ristasis and Salagen, both for Sjogrens.
Besides taking these drugs, I use Gentel eye gel (by Novaris) in my eyes at
night and cover them with sleep blindfold (like you get in the aminity kits
on airplanes).  I also use Celluvisc eye drops (by Refresh) during the day
(the kind that are single dosage vials).  All of this helps tremendously
