                        I wish I had a positive reply.  I need help too.  I tried punctal plugs with no relief.  The only thing that helps me at all is using the "night time" ointments in my eyes.  I don't always need it daily, the drops help some. I do need to use the ointment at least once a week.  I understand what you are saying about hating to face the day with dry, burning eyes!  I come home from work and have to lay down and close my eyes for at least 45 min. to feel okay for the evening. I wish there would be a positive letter at this site!!
