Hi all, I'm new.
I developed dry eye a couple of years ago. This was around the same time as I moved into a new apartment and started a new job. Not sure if either of these is contributing to my issues. It has caused me much distress due to all the symptoms.
I've seen an opthalmologist, internist, and allergist about this. The optho diagnosed me with dry eyes and suggested using Systane, which has no real effect on me. The allergist figured I have some ocular allergies. He prescribed Patanol since I do have other allergies and since my eyes were red when I saw him. That isn't having much of an effect, either.
I've been recently trying to determine exactly when I get dry eyes. It seems that after the shower, it gets pretty bad. It flares up throughout the day as well. I am in front of a computer for 9 hours a day at work, every day.
I didn't see any threads about the shower situation. Could it be the chlorine? Could it be my Dial Antibacterial Soap? H&S shampoo? I've used all these in the past with no problems.
Any thoughts? My next approach is to try Genteal and some of the other drops sold on this web site.
