I just found the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) which is a great way to determine how bad your dry eye is.
The questionnaire is available from many sites. Follow this link for one example.
This is what it looks like. Click/tap on the images in order to view them at a higher resolution.
I answered the questions and found that currently I am at 41.7, which means that I have moderate dry eye. I am better than I was a month ago, but I keep fluctuating between better and worse.
I have had several bad reactions to over-the-counter eye treatments plus problems with blood pressure medications. I have a number of posts partially written about this entire saga. I plan to publish them at some point, but I've been waiting for a final resolution.
As of today, I think my Covid infection back in December worsened the dry eye that I already had from Sjögren's. Bad reactions to treatments made it worse, and I continue to try to get my eyes to settle down.
