Hi everyone,
New to the board so I'll introduce myself quickly first. I'm a 31yo male with dry eyes that started 2 years ago. Diagnosed with blepharitis, eyelids that don't close completely (1mm but not the whole lid), and sleep apnea (treated w/CPAP). Also had a positive SS-B antibody (Sjogren's) but no diagnosis yet.
Anyway, I have a lot of problems at night. Sometimes I wake up with severe eye pain that lasts 1-2 hours but most of the time they are just sore, irritated, and red. Recently started developing morning tension headaches and I think it may be due to the eyes. Anyone else have the same experience? I'm not sure if its the dry eyes themselves or the Lacri-Lube that I'm using before going to sleep.
In any case, I'm looking for advice on how to treat this problem. What do you all do? I'm thinking of trying out tranquileyes but I'm awfully confused about what to buy. I'm not that concerned about the money but I'd rather not waste it. The compresses sound interesting. Do you all use it for that and what's your experience? Better than a towel? Mostly, though, I want to use it at night. Which pack should I be getting?
Thanks for the help!
