One or two weeks ago a friend of mine told me that a friend of her who is studying therapies with essential oils indicated the use of lavender essential oil in the nose bridge (right in the place where glasses touche your nose) for dry eyes.
That friend of mine is a female in her twenties and has dry eyes. Her dry eyes are not as bad as ours here (she doesn't need goggles, sclerals etc.). She told me she just couldn't believe how much the lavender oil worked for her. Now she uses much less eye drops and feels more tears in her eyes.
I'm in the second day with lavender essential oil. It is too early to say if it is really working for me, but I think it is. I don't expect it will be a "triumph story", but I think it can improve my life quality.
It's very cheap (at least I bought more or less 15 ml for 10 bucks, or USA$ 4.00, here in brazil, and I think it will last for three months or more).
We don't dilute the oil. We put a drop in the finger and rake it up in the nose, where the glasses touch it. Just in the morning, once per day. But I think twice, morning and night, could be a good idea.
I found something in the web about the oil lubricating the tear ducts, it was the closest thing of an explanation I found.
