I second that, they just don't seem all that interested in the Dry eye Patient, I've gotten plugs, and told to use Restasis and that's where it ends. obviously something is going on here with our...

Hi Everyone, but especially women sufferers. Have any of you had any luck with regulating your hormone levels and fixing the dry eyes? I believe this may be of great help for me, and I have read...

To answer the question about the frequency of drops, I'm with Saag, I can drop every 15-30 min. but at times can go much longer. just depends on the day, humidity, or I don't know what?? I wear...

Would love to know which doctor to see? We do have a naturopath in my area, I've never been to one tho, hope insurance covers, I've recently needed to change dr. Will be seeing an internist but have...

Hi, very interesting, I'm beginning to suspect that my DES is almost 100% due to hormone imbalance, having a surgery that completely eliminated my ability to produce my own hormones, I have since...

Thats so weird Faith, maybe a right eye thing :) I do think that allergies may be at play with me too, but not sure, the steroid drops cleared mine right up, so that makes it more likely. My eyes are...

Both of my eyes had the DCR, but my right is drier and more irritated most of the time, don't know why. But I really thought I may have had a slight infection because of the goopy eye, Doc still felt...

Hi, I don't use Serum drops but do use contacts, they help me so much, I don't wear them all night tho, do you need to wear them overnight? Hope that you get continued results.

Thanks for the response, I'm not sure either what is going on, I did get in to see my eye Doc today, of course I was treating it myself, because he couldn't fit me in yesterday, so I had gone a long...

I have one eye that gets super red, and doesn't really hurt but feels funny. I do have a plug in that eye, but it was happening before I had it put in. This morning I woke up with it feeling kinda...

Hi, I have the same problem with mascara and eye make-up getting into my eyes too, with all the drops I have to add all day long, in no time I have some in my eyes no matter what. Just wanted to add...

This is great news. Can you elaborate on what nac is? Will it help with problems with tear volume? My big problem is I need more tears, Restasis is all that they are offering me now, which hasn't...

Hi, can you be more spacific about the Edema? Is it in the lids, around the eye, or eye surface? Could it be the solution you are using to clean and store your lens? I use Clean Care, and found that...

Could be that your right eye punctum (drain hole) is bigger that the other. Have they tried punctal plugs? this could be something that could help in the right eye at least. Just a thought.

Thats great news, I'm glad you found something that makes you feel better, the Dry eye thing just effects out lives to such a degree, I still wear makeup, but as the day goes on I find that with the...

Thanks Rebecca, I bet your right, I never thought about that, I've heard that people with contact lens use end up stopping the contacts because their eyes feel so dry...I'm doing as instructed and...

Darn it anyways, I'm so sorry you did not get to your appointment. Will you be making another attempt in the future? I'm sorry to hear about your car, I hope they can get it fixed for you soon. What...

Thanks I will try the Refresh plus, although It may be one of the many drops I did try and have a reaction to, crazy eyes, I believe it is the two main ingredients in the drops that I react to,...

Hi everyone,
Well I broke down and went and picked up the "poison" as I refer to it from the Pharmacy today. I am reluctantly giving Restasis another try, after my Corneal specialist suggested I...

I have Alopecia and have had it for ten years now. I finially buzzed off what was left of my bio hair in August and now wear a wig full time, I don't think they are related, as I have tested neg for...

Farmgirl, yes I was tested and it was negative. Thankful for that, I didn't have any other symptoms of Sjogren's like dry mouth so I was not expecting it to be that, but still was anxious awaiting...

Hi Sunshine! Actually I've never been told my Meibomian glands don't work. I dont have MGD or at least have never been told I do, my Lacrymal glands are not producing tears, so that may be my only...

Interesting, while at my visit with the specialist last week, when I told him my right eye gets really bad and red sometimes and I have a old bottle of lotemax I put a drop or two in it, he said...

Please let me know what you find out after your visit with the Ausie Doc, Would love to hear you got some answers. I know what you mean about not wanting to do anything else that may make things...

I agree, I have felt that every step I've taken or has been offered me by the eye docs, is just to treat the symptoms, I had DCR surgery many years ago, but did not develop my dry eyes until some...
