Eye drop burning but only at night

I use the same drops throughout the day and before sleep. I have no irritation during the day. However, when I put in the drop at in the evening and close my eyes, they begin to water and get agitated. If I reapply the drop at night (I don’t have to but if I get up I do it), then I feel fine. Maybe...
 

Just for laughs

At the end of a very long Monday, last night I found myself fantasizing about doing a slightly edgy group video spoofing a long litany of dry eye treatments.... the stuff we have to put ourselves through to get relief.

Drops like Refresh Pus, or Sustain Imbalance, or NanoSlops, or autologous...
 

Can drops reduce tear prodcution?

What do you think?
Some People Claim that if you use drops many times a day that they will reduce normal tear production.

Blinking pain misery - please help

In late March my dry eye symptoms morphed into a new stage. Despite better signs, I have developed moderate to severe blinking discomfort. It caused me a lot of stress, panic attacks, and ironically tears (from sadness, not basal tears,of course).

This also votes against...

Dry Eye- 1.5 years of dealing with this. So this is my life now?

Hi all-
I've been on here a number of times since going down the dreaded dry-eye rabbit hole and finally decided to post.

Roughly a year a half ago I started birth control. I had been on it before and went on it again to help with cramps. Well about 3 months into it the pharmacy abruptly...
 

Every symptom completely gone for 6 hours

at 10:30am today I was on the phone with amazon customer service and all of a sudden, I began sweating profusely. I got extremely hungry, and when I hung the phone up, it was drenched in sweat. This is how my body has ALWAYS been up until 2 years ago. Then I noticed I had zero eye dryness...literally...
 

Prescription moisture chamber glasses ziena

I just called and got 3 pairs of glasses to try the neareus, sea crest and the panhead by 7 eye. I’m going to try them on and then make a decision on which ones to buy them send them my script.
