How Can Dry Eyes Be Treated?

My wife has severe dry eye in her right eye. This condition seems to be linked to her non allergic rhinitis. The symptoms seem to occur simunltaneously. She is miserable and has been treated by an opthalmologist who prescribes eye drops which don t seem to help. I suspect that until the non allergic rhinitis is somehow treated, her eye problem won t get any better. Flonaise and nasocort sprays seem to be ineffective also.
