I just wanted to know how you all cope on a daily basis with terrible condition, what meds you use,home remedies,exercise,etc.l
My coping methods are:
Heat compresses and hygiene
Hot eyebag compresses once a day and heat from the shower the other day followed by occusoft lid cleanser or sometimes very diluted baby shampoo.Reason for oncea day is the inflammed eyelids caused by to much heat
Meds:
Was using celluvisc and blink intensive tears but have cut back on them due to suspected side effects.
Naturals and vitamins:
Cold Green tea bags when I get a flare up which is very effective, and cucumber slices every day to reduce swelling. Also use probiotic vitamins,green tea extract ,vitamin C ,coconut water for hydration and regual fluid intake. Diet consist of lots of veg,oats,seeds,etc as I find poor diet does affect your dry eyes.
Mentally:
Good sleep, daily exercise ,tai chai, having fun socialising and gettin a lot of fresh air , keepin stress levels low as I find stress excaborates this condition.
