Warm Compresses and Eyedrop Causing Overtearing?

[Lucky Shamrock]

OK so my eyes at the moment are really good, like 95% better than what they were like in July 2017. I only get symptoms like a slight sensitivity to bright light and wind, a bit of soreness towards the end of the day, occasional foreign body sensation that lasts about 2 mins and sometimes episodes of...

Hey Guys!

I would like to start my story by saying that how I always took care of my eyes; I always kept my phones brightness low, always watched TV from a distance. I still have a perfect 6/6 vision in both of my eyes but one thing I did not know about was how much important blinking was...

Hi everyone, I've been suffering from dry eyes and having permanent veins in my eyes for years now. I'm 25 years old and I hate my eyes. It's really hurting my self-esteem and confidence and when my eyes flare up I'm too embarrassed to even leave the house.

I found an article which states:...

Hi everyone, I'm 22 and have MGD and inflammation around the eyelids. My doctor put me on 'Pred Mild Sterile Ophthalmic Suspension' steroid drops a week ago and I feel like my eyes are getting dryer. Is this a normal side effect? Or are the steroid drops irritating my eyes?

I had lasik 6 years ago - zero issues. I had a PRK top up 9 months ago - lots of issues!

I have read older stories by Prattstar, Jovver, Hangus etc and I see that they went through a really terrible time. And they seem to be much much better now. They seemed to also have a lot worse of...

I'm using preservative free drops (systane or blink usually). I've gone from using...
