What to consider when buying a new PC monitor?

I've had dry eyes for like two years and it's pretty bad. I still have to work and study a lot using a computer, and I've been thinking of buying a new good quality monitor to hopefully help with the eyestrain. I'm also very much addicted to watching screens on my free time so there's...

I'm new here so I'll just dive in. Been using Xiidra off and on for six months. It definitely works; I don't hardly use Systane drops any more. But the burning and blurriness is hard to handle.

Also I recently played tennis for about 3 hours and later also felt relief for ~12 hours. Seems like intensive processes which affect...

Hemp oil on eyelids/around eyes (+ CoQ10)

Hi, please don�t expect me to answer questions on this since I never visit the site, just wanted to pop in to tell you about something that gives med relief: hemp oil applied on the eye lids so some of it makes it into the eyes. Should be a small amount and applied with clean fingers obviously, also...

Kinda new here

Hey everyone,
I am new to this site, although I have posted a few times without introducing myself. Rude, I know. I have not actually been diagnosed with dry eyes, but I am having some dry eye problems recently. For some reason, I am not able to wear my gas perm lenses which I have tolerated...
