My eye doc says they are the same but I've never heard of a dry eye tearing but have heard of a Sjogren's dry eye tearing. I HAVE TORN MY EYE 3 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. Please help????

Your doctor is correct they are the same thing. Are you using an eye ointment At night? That's going to lubricate better than drops. This will also help stop the tearing. try Hypotears eye ointment. you have to use this every night and drops throughout the day. I'm also enclosing a link where you can see about a different gel lubricant that works very well and you can see with it, unlike the ointment.
