Hello
I have now had my second dry eye attack in 3 years. This one has now lasted for 4 months. My lower lids are plugged, the uppers were for a month last December 2009 but i had them removed because i teared and the dryness remained(if that makes sense). I am a suspected sjogrens patient and have been on cyclosporin ointment for 5 weeks. I had my 3rd opthalmic appointment in 9 weeks but this time i have No Dry spots demonstrated by corneal staining according to my Dr today! They feel as dry as hell still so i was wondering if anybody has any views on this? I have tried to find some articles on the association between pain and actual corneal staining on exam. I feel quite down as although i do not want to have positive results, something to go on would help. I am wondering if the Restasis has got the inflamation down but a dryness cycle still exists.
I do not have blepharitis.
Thanks
Louisa
