1.
Drug reaction is one cause of tears to become inadequate [SJ Syndrome in your case].

2. make sure to rule any other cause of the same like:rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, superficial eye infections, and meibomian gland dysfunction.

3. Since there is no cure for tear deficiency, management is symptomatic:
. Omega 3 fatty acids in diet or as supplement are beneficial.
. Artifical tears to keep eyes moist: Opthacare eye drops, Isotine Eye drops, Itone, Netra Bindu.
. Avoid direct contact with Air [since they will lead to evaporation of tears quickly], thus sitting under fan/A.C, travelling with windows open/down should be avoided as much possible.
. Avoid smoke and fumes.
