The major "ingredient" of Latisse is latanoprost. This is a pro-inflammatory medication. Sjogrens is essentially an autoimmune condition and so it could worsen your dry eyes if the medication gets in your eyes. If you apply it strictly to your upper lashes you should be ok. I would wait on trying it until your Sjogrens is well controlled first.
Sjorgren's Syndrome is usually marked with dryness of the eyes and mouth, as well as other complications. With the proper application of Latisse, none should get in the eye and it should have no effect on eye dryness. However, since you already have issues with your eyes, you need to consult your physician to determine his or her stance on your using Latisse. Even though the two should not affect each other, you need to be safe and protect your eyes as much as possible.
The eye is exposed to a very small amount of Latisse even when it is properly applied as directed to the upper eyelid margin using the supplied applicator. This has been demonstrated by applying a colored dye to the eyelid margin and watching its migration. I agree that to be safe you should not begin using Latisse until your Sjogren's syndrome is well controlled.
Color change of the white of the eye, (sclera), has not, (as of this writing), been reported with Latisse. Millions of prescriptions have been dispensed. Moreover, change of the colored part of the eye has not been reported with Latisse.
