Lasik 9 mos ago. Not using any prescription drops or treatments because my eyes seem sensitive to anything I do. I had plugs put in lowers about three months ago. About 1.5 months ago I started to tear excessively and now I have AM dryness that I've never had before. My right eye plug appears to have popped out, but I dont' feel any of my excessive drops going down my duct, so I'm not sure what happened there. So, no drops since I'm tearing so much, but I do put in GenTeal gel in at night (a drop in each eye, close my eyes - have done this from day one), and I've started the past month doing warm compresses, but only once at night and for only about 5-10 min max. Doesn't seem to be doing anything. In a month I seem to have a manageable week, two rocky weeks and one bad week! Which would be easier to figure out, but the symptoms keep changing which scares me.
1. Has anyone after Lasik had so much variation of symptoms? It seems like you name it, I've experienced it (stickiness, grittiness, foreign object sensation, pain, too many tears, too few tears, eye lids puffy, etc.) (except maybe a corneal erosion thankfully). Any advice on how to deal with such fluctuations?
2. Morning dryness - what are the causes? Why would I just experience it now, 9 months into this?
thanks for any thoughts on this,
Margaret
