I am 42 and have suffered from dry eyes for more than three years when I went through natural menopause. I am finding relief from an increased antioxident vitamin A (5,000 mg.), drinking lots of water and now wearing contacts to decrease the tear production and relieve the gritty feeling. It's very difficult to find qualified opthomoligists who completely understand this condition. I tried cutting down on the preservative free eye drops and that seemed to help. Also, sticking with one product vs. several differet types helped too. It's not a cure but a small relief. Good luck.
