A little background: At the age of 16 I started wearing contact lenses, was working under bright light and took a course of roactuane for acne. All this combined lead to severe symptoms of dry eye and a struggling immune system. My symptoms were/are: severe dry eye, tinnitus, cloudy head, dry mouth, dry nose, dry lips....at times severe depression!! Through self research and trial and error these are things to do which will drastically improve the condition ...
While I haven't had erosions lately (for a good week actually), today is a rather "dry" day, my vision is blurred, and the eyes feel dry. I instilled Systane Ultra ampules, but somehow they didn't last so long (a month ago I could swear by Systane!). I suspect what could lead to this: I drank very little water yesterday! Drinking water really makes it better, so today and onward I'm on a mission of drinking a glass every hour. Very simple step that really helps.

Of course, I had my ointment in. And what's funny, today my Tranquileyes arrived too! I'm going to try it out soon. ...
My first forum post, hehe Originally Posted by Katja Hi guys, I found Dry Eye Talk by browsing, and have been reading it for last couple of weeks. Finally, I’m here to post I’m a 34 y.o. female from Holland, and for the past 3 months I’m in the club, having dry eyes, MGD and RCE. My DE could have probably occurred as a result of a poorly-treated viral eye infection. The first symptoms, the one that took me to doctors, were night erosions. I’ve had a couple of them already, ...
