When I take Alphagan P I find that my eyes get really really white after being bloodshot with very visible veins, it also seems as though the burning sensation that I often get seems to change to what I feel as a tight feeling in the eyes. This tight feeling seems to bother me less than the itchy feeling when the eyes are red but its still quite bothersome. I don't like toaking to much of this stuff as I think it may act to make my dry eye worse, same thing with allergy drops like patanol.
Is ones reaction to Alphagan P somewhat indicative of what there eye problem might be?
Are there anti-inflammatories out there that can act to bring down the inflammation and redness in the whites of the eye?
Had punctal plugs put in a couple of weeks ago and they seem to be helping. I did have good tear volume it was just the TBUT that seemed to be the problem. Worried that the punctal plugs may just agitate allergies by keeping contaminates in the eyes for a longer period or that they may even result in less tear production.
I often think that my problem my be with the conjunctiva and the fact that its not very healthy at the moment. The surgeon that did my lasik surgery really jammed the sepculum in hard, I had major bruising in both eyes around the cornea. I remember it hurting the most in my right eye and now this is the eye that seems to be giving me the most problems. I'm thinking that this may be one of the main reasons why my eye hurts so much. 5 1/2 months out of lasik now, I feel that I've improved considerally in the last few months but that I still have a lot of room to go. I still have ups and downs and many days when getting out of bed is extremely hard to do. Hopefully it keeps getting better, much better I hope!
