Saline contains salt which ionizes in solution. The ions cause the solution within your eyes to have a hypotonic environment, or net movement of water into cells. Basically salts are ions and ions help retain water.

Saline is a salty solution and as u probably know, salt absorbs liquid. I guess the salt must have something to do with drying up the tears or something. By the way, I have the exact same problem as you, but I have never found or seeked a cure.
