@sjogrenswithjody: If you’ve been searching how to fix dry eyes, or wondering what causes dry eyes, you’re not alone. For many people, chronic dry eyes aren’t just a minor annoyance—they can feel like burning, grittiness, excessive tearing, redness, and even light sensitivity that doesn’t go away. There are a lot of possible reasons behind dry eyes—environment, screens, hormones, medications—but sometimes chronic dry eyes can be a sign of something deeper. In some cases, it may be connected to Sjogren’s disease, especially if you’re also dealing with things like dry mouth, fatigue, or joint discomfort. The hard part? So many people are told to just “use eye drops” without ever being told what causes dry eyes in their situation. And until you understand the cause, it’s hard to know how to fix dry eyes in a way that actually helps long term. If your chronic dry eyes feel persistent, worsening, or just don’t make sense… it might be worth looking at the bigger picture and tracking your symptoms. If this hit you, follow for more, and share this with someone who needs support. #sjogrens #sjogrenssyndrome #dryeye #menopauses #eyedisease

Currently I’m only using eye drops once a day but also not diagnosed yet. They call mine undifferentiated connective tissues disease but bloods and symptoms match sjogrens with an overlap of lupus. Been pushing for over 20 years now

Yes, it Sjogren’s symptom I get those a lot so there are some days. I can’t even leave the house cause it bothers my vision sometimes it washes itself out in 15 minutes sometimes 4 hours. I hate it. It’s like there’s a grain of sand in the middle of your eyeball that you can actually see and there’s clear a film over that that you cannot wash it out.

In my case, dealing with both PBC and secondary Sjögren's, I find that even with eye drops, it's just never enough.
On top of that, I have to take some anti-anxiety meds just to get a bit of sleep. Ever since my condition flared up, I haven't been able to get a 'normal' night's rest, and that makes my eyes even drier. It’s a total vicious cycle: the more meds I take, the drier they get; the more the Sjögren's acts up, the worse it feels. Honestly, I'm just at my wits' end and don't know what to do anymore
