Schrimer scores worse after treatments...?

[patientpatrick]

After 10 months of restasis, 6 months of doxy, 8 months of warm compresses + expression 3x a day for 15-20 min, 8 months of being quadra-plugged, and 3 months of serum my eyes still feel like crap.

What's most strange is after all this treatments my schrimer scores are worse than before doing these treatments???

I'm 21 months post lasik and I don't know what's going on.

I am about a year and a half post lasik and I have had little improvement...I feel your pain!

Its such a furstrating condition!

Someone on the forum stated that feedback loops could be responsible for the lower schrimer scores. Apparently plugs hold more moisture and the eye feels wetter so it makes less tears. Anyone else have thoughts?

I also think it is could be the case.
