ok so i have sjogrens and mgd.. i have been doing a lot better the past few months--of course i have cautery and plugs but tears had been running down my cheeks-not complaining.
so i went to my optometrist-reg checkup and he suggested i try ciba vision dailies total1- well wore them 4 hours-no problem..took them out just in case-didnt want to rock the boat-and was good for about 5 hours and out of nowhere my eyes got so dry , then burning like heck-used lotemax ointment-took the edge off but not much-went to bed. i woke w/ the same issues-went to my doc's office & they were all out today (my corneal specialist that is).. my reg optometrist said on the phone he didnt know if it wsa the contacts or what?
could this just be a sjogrens flare or do you think i caused the flare up by putting in lenses into dry sjogren/mgd eyes-even tho they felt great.. I think it is odd that they didn't react until 4 hours later that is why i don't think it was a contact allergy. i didnt use solution.. the contacts say that they have
"phosphatidylcholine in buffered saline w/ polymeric wetting agents".. could i be allergic to this? and if i was wouldnt i have felt the allergy while wearing the lenses or at least right when i took them out???
going to the eye doc tmro if not better.. my eyes feel like glue and burn so bad.. i know Bak isn't in the contacts..
any suggestions or help? i am so confused... i do wonder if just having a contact lay on my eye deprived it with oxygen and finally hours later flared up??? thank you so much to anybody with any thoughts or suggestions!!1
