Hello

I do not know how the severe dry eye was diagnosed in your case. You should undergo schirmer test for an accurate diagnosis of dry eye. Meantime, you can start using some lubricating eye drops. If this does not help, you should visit a eye surgeon who will block the puncta and advise you further for the dry eye.

Regards
