Just came back from an ophthalmologist appointment. She has lots of experience.... time wise I guess. I showed her the 7 Eyes sunglasses I wear to improve symptoms and she says " oh wow, where did you get those, I have other patients who would be helped by those" Doesn't give you a confident feeling when you are teaching your doctor about things that have been around for years.
I've used Restasis for three months now with some improvement. But the humidity has gone from 20% to 100% in Toronto since I started symptoms, so its hard to tell why I'm better. She then say's "humidity in the air really has no bearing on how your dry eye is feeling. Yikes ! There is a huge benefit to being in a humid environment.
I've learned that Ophth. have one hammer in their toolbox. They use Restasis to whack oil film problems, tear problems, inflammation problems.
I thought this was a very common condition and am shocked at the lack of knowledge or treatments out there.
Well, Restasis it is. I've bumped it up to 4 times a day.
