    Why most people have to visit many doctors and still suffer? This is the main reason. Doctors do not intervene early enough.

    I watched a lecture recently, some opinion leaders in USA discussing some cases.
    One case: patient with very red eyes (rosacea), no pain. Osmolarity were 325 or so etc.
    These doctors ALL said we need to catch/treat this patient earlier, with Restasis, xiidra etc.
    Because of NHS costs thats why. And your need to be considered severe for the treatment hence why last resort. I went to an opthamoligist and no help because i used castor oil and had 6 seconds tbut. No ikervis or scerelas mentioned.

      Good to ask - if we dont try, we dont get it. If still no luck, ask WHY or try other doctors.
      tbut 6 sec does not mean you do not have inflammation nor water issue.

        Hi the only time I got itchy eyes was when I had the punctal plugs in this summer, for that reason I had to have them removed after one month. I have hayfever which would have explained that.

        I have had the insides of my eyelids examined by various doctors and they have said there is inflammation but they don't know why. I was on catanorm for a while but it didn't help. Apart from hayfever I do not think I am severely allergic to anything but I would like to get tested for allergies for peace of mind.

        Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available on the NHS, and to get tested privately would cost me £450 here in London which is just too much for me at the moment.

          Hi yes I got a private prescription. I have to pay full price for it but it's better than not having it at all....
