Dry eye caused by inflammation what else to try?

I'm on ikervis for my dry eye steroids make by eyes normal again. What else could I add to my treatment as steroids aren't a long term option. I was thinking doxycycline as this can help calm inflammation?...

Lot of Floaters in eyes after lasik

HI All,

I am Lasik induced patient and suffering from last 10 yrs or so.

I have noticed recently that I have got floaters in one of my eyes which are disturbing my vision. They are lots of them some are thread like and some don't go away.

So wanted to ask few questions...

Allergies?

The question might sound dumb but Can it be possible that i might be getting dry eye and mgd due to me having a dog inside my house. My eyes feel dry all the time even when I'm not home my dry eyes didn't start until after a year of owning him so i really doubt it but i wanted some opinions...

Scleral Lense - Black Dot

I got my 1st pair of scleral lenses today, but there is black dot on my right lens that moves around and is clearly visible. The doctor said you wouldn't be able to see this black dot? Does this mean my lenses don't fit correctly? My other lens is foggy the minute I put it in.... sigh... afraid...

Bruder Eye mask

Has anyone here had any experience with the Bruder Eye Mask for Blepharitis?

Fugo Blade for MGD

Hi,

I posted a little while ago to see if anyone ever had the Fugo Blade done on them? I know there was someone who posted a while back who saw the doctor who did it in India. It looks like the probe they used is 24% thicker than the main Rhein Medical one. Does anyone know of any doctor...

Finger prick blood

How do you use a lancet?

How many drops should I use a day?

do you use a different finger each time?

im running out of options and this seems like a cost effective treatment

thanks...

doxycycline regime

Hello, I looking at starting doxy I will speak to my eye doc about this next time I see him. Can I ask at what dosage and for how long people are usually prescribed this?

Azyter didnt help doxy worth a go?

I tried topical Azyter which didn't help I couldn't tolerate the drops so tried putting the liquid on a q tip and brushing over my glands. Those this didn't help either. Would Doxy still be an option. My problem is inflammation as on steroids my meibum glands work perfectly again....

Does anyone else have to walk around with one eye closed because it's more bearable.

Hi
just wanted you know if anyone else is having to close one eye in order to reduce discomfort. Fir example today I closed my right eye for 4 hours. Having to do so on a daily basis. What a rubbish disease this is!!!!
