    Question:   I'm having a very serious problem with dry eyes. I have tried plugs, gels, drops etc. and nothing works. My eyes have been dry since I was 20. Now I'm 43 and my eyes are worse. They burn, ache and my vision is blurry. At night the eyes no longer relubricate themselves and hurt when I wake. I can't read anymore because it really burns and hurts. I also cannot stay on the terminal very long. I'm scared I'll soon lose my job and eyesight and not be able to support my family. I would now say I am handicapped. Please HELP and let me know what breakthroughs are happening with dry eye remedies/surgeries/cures.    Dr. McLaughlin's Answer
