The eye drops are making it worse, period. Our eyes immediately become dependent on these drops and stop trying to make any tears on their own. I've been weaning off of my drops. I've stopped using them at night and now only a vial 1-3 times a day, but using just one vial.
Recently, I decided I had to take matters into my own hands in order to stop using and being dependant on these drops. Here's what I have done that has really helped: 1) changed my diet, to eat plant-based foods, so my eyes could get natural and healthy nutrients; I also eat about 2 tbs. of ground flaxseed a day with my breakfast; 2) take holistic supplements for eye health that have high vitamin A; 3) wear my eyeglasses more in the evenings instead of wearing my contact lens all day; 4) limit screen time at least 30 min. to an hour before bed 5) put castor oil in my eyes at night; and 6) The MOST quickest and effective solution by far is to wear an eye mask when you sleep at night. I learned that many people sleep with eyes a little open, which contributes to dry eye. Get an eye mask that also functions as a heat compress - a mask you can warm either by placing in the microwave or placing a removable gel insert in hot water to heat it up. You find a bunch on Amazon. Below is the link of the one that I bought that I really like - I don't have a microwave, so this one works best for me. I noticed a difference the next day. My eyes were actually a bit watery on their own!
Please keep in mind this is a process. I hardly use eye drops anymore which is huge progress for me, but my eyes still get dry, especially by the end of the day. I've only had the eye mask for a week (and have been trying many of the techniques I've mentioned more recently) and I have seen great progress! I was diagnosed with blepharitis 11 years ago and have been using eye drops on and off ever since. You can do it, you will get better, but in order to do so, you have to take your health into your own hands. Best of luck on your journey.

Just posting an anecdote for anyone else who stumbles on this thread:
I've had a bad dry eye situation developing in my left eye for a few months. It's most likely due to a chalazion or blocked duct that's caused some inflammation. The eyelid doesn't close properly so the eye dries out while I'm sleeping. The lump in the eyelid also puts some pressure on the eye. For a while, when I'd wake up it would feel like someone was ripping a piece of duct tape off my dry eyeball. It would burn and sting for an hour or so before I could properly function. I got it sort of under control by doing regular warm compresses and sleeping with a headband over my eyes in such a way that it put just enough pressure on the lid to help keep it closed tightly. I've also been using Systane gel or ointment overnight. I've gone back and forth between the headband and this hydrating sleep mask. With all that I was still having flare-ups a couple of times a week when I'd wake up. I found that a cold compress (damp washcloth with water as cold as possible) helps with the pain. My eye seems to put off a LOT of heat when it's irritated. Oh, I also take 1000mg of fish oil in the morning and another 1000mg right before bed.
Last week I had a really bad flare-up in the middle of the afternoon not anywhere close to when I'd been sleeping. The compress only helped a little bit. It was burning like fire and it felt like there was a gigantic splinter or something in my eye. It finally calmed down after an hour or so but it was low-level burning the rest of the day. The next day it started up again in the morning and took hours to get under control and continued to burn for most of the day. That's when I found this post.
I started the regimen described in the link on Friday morning and have been doing really well so far. I saw my cornea doctor this morning (I'd last seen him about three months ago when all of this started) and he said that most of the erosion is healed and that he's never seen such a drastic improvement before. My eye feels mostly better - I've been sleeping with the hydration mask on for the last few nights and I haven't had any flare-ups since I started TheraTears. I do feel like there's a slight burning from time to time, and every once in a while when I'm doing a compress I do feel the "foreign body sensation" a bit, but not as severely as I had before. My eyes still feel pretty dry when I wake up but as soon as I start the TheraTears regimen they feel more comfortable. I'm still doing compresses as close to 3x per day as I can, and still scrubbing my eyelids with baby shampoo every day as this hopefully will help prevent more duct clogging.
I'm cautiously optimistic. It does seem, right now, that TheraTears is as effective as OP says. I will also say that this is the most frequent eyedrop regimen I've ever embarked on/stuck with, so it could also just be that more regular lubrication is working wonders, regardless of the brand. I don't know, but I'm sticking with the TheraTears for now.
Here are a couple of other products I've been using:
Eye compress/mask. This is nice because you just put it on your head and don't have to sit there and hold it. Stays hot for about 8-10 minutes and pretty warm for another 10 or so after that. I heat this up for 23 seconds and listen to a podcast or something while it does its thing. Goal is 3x a day but I often can only manage 1 or 2.
USB heated eye mask. As many people have pointed out, this doesn't put out enough heat to be a substitute for other compresses, but I figure some heat is better than no heat, right? Sometimes I put this on at bedtime, set for 30 minutes. At some point later if I wake up after it shuts off, I switch to the hydration mask.
Systane overnight ointment. I put a blob of this in after the last TheraTears round for the day, right before sleep.
Genteel Severe Gel. I hit it with this any time it's feeling a little dry and/or fatigued, and I'm in between TheraTears rounds. I use this one if I can afford to have a blurry eye for a few minutes, but if I'm really busy I just go with regular Systane Complete drops.
If anyone is experiencing anything similar to what I've described, try this stuff. And with all of the treatments I've talked about (drops, compresses, lid scrubs), BE CONSISTENT. I know they are a pain in the ass and take up a lot of time but when I look at all the times things have gotten out of control with my eyes (I've had issues with chalazions for almost 20 years now) it's usually when I'm not being good about routines and hygiene.
do you want a heated one? i bought one that plugs in. 3 heat levels. you may not think it’s that warm but trust me. your eyes can. i put some eye ointment in like restane. then slip the black out mask on. silky material. snug fit. heated. my eyes feel really great in the morning.
Graphene Heated Eye Mask for Dry... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P9NHKTW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I’ve tried a silicone mask from amazon for a few months. I wouldn’t say that helped me... it was weird because the skin around my eyes would be soaking wet, but my eyes would still be dry. But of course, you may have better luck.
Eyeseals 4.0 Hydrating Sleep Mask for Nighttime Dry Eye Relief (Charcoal) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J6JEKTW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_ZDhtsG8VRs7RE
Better yet: https://www.amazon.com/Aroma-Season-Flaxseed-Syndrome-Blepharitis/dp/B07LBL172C/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=eye+compress&qid=1569458218&s=hpc&sr=1-5
I bought these, and they are super simple and effective to use! You dont have to worry about the heat disappearing after a few minutes and having to go "heat them up" again. Just plug and play!
I like to think these have helped with dry eyes, though I've lost the habit of using them every night, but I have to get back on it!
I got the drops and eye wipes from Amazon.
Refresh Optive Mega-3 Lubricant Eye Drops, 30 Single-Use Containers, 0.01 Fl Oz, 30 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074ZHK96H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_.UaDDbJW98AK3
OCuSOFT Lid Scrub Original, Pre-Moistened Pads, 30 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PY15I2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_UVaDDbJ0R29AV
What I like about the drops is they do not make your vision blurry like the gel or moisturizing drops. I’ve tried many brands of drops by the way.
I had that brand but stopped working after a few months.
I got this one now
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072KGXMQ7/ref=psdc_11061971_t1_B07LBL172C
which I like a little better since it holds in the moisture
I didn’t have much success with Cliradex, but this compress has helped me immensely. I do it 1-2 times per day for about 10 minutes. Put in the microwave for 30 seconds and then lie down with it on. It opens up the glands so your eyes will be really blurry after - just put in eye drops after and you’ll be good to go
https://www.amazon.com/Thermalon-24342-Dry-Eye-Compress/dp/B004385RPS
No cure, only reducing symptoms. I recommend:
4 pills of these omega pills per day: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014LE31OW
1-2 pills of a GLA product per day: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Z95JR0
1-2 sessions of eye heat pads per day: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078X6Z4QN
And if your eyes are currently terribly inflamed, visit an eye doctor which can get scleral lens for you. It'll help your eyes calm down by bathing them in liquid all day.
Yes! This one specifically: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074TDPVFV/ref=psdcmw_3764231_t1_B07CVTSMFY

This product has bicarbonate too, so it should work too right?
