Visine is a poor choice for dry eyes. It constricts the blood vessels of the eye to get the red out, but that leads to further irritation of the eye and worse dry eye symptoms down the road.
Your best choice for treatment are preservative free lubricating drops such as Systane and Refresh. Another good option is Soothe - which has a special component to help lock in the tears.
Best of luck
