Hello everyone, I'm Mohit,
I got dry eye syndrome last year due to led monitor, life has been harsh in the past year.
In the summers i couldn't use eye drops as it started irritation in the back of the eye, i was a fool to do this, i continued without drops, without anything, using computer and everything.
Watching TV one day, pain shot in one eye, started using eye drops then and the weather was also going cold, that time of the year, so eye drops didn't cause problem like earlier, but eye went bad, now it will start hurting if i looked at brightness, even for short periods of time. Cannot watch TV anymore.
So i continued using eye drops, until a month ago those eye drops(IT IS sodium carboxymethylcellulose salt) gave me red rash/inflamation in the eyes with irritation. Went to a new doctor, he told me to use one with HYPROmellose(hpmc) salt, but it didn't suit me. I knew about Hypromellose earlier, anyway.
So, went to doctor again now he prescribed me Systane Ultra, but its not exactly cheap and i do not earn, i'm a student, a bad one now, dry eyes+animation degree= not good
He knew its not cheap, he told me to use one bottle and then when the problem is fixed, continue with earlier one(carboxymethycellulose), but i realized thats not gonna work.
So what i did is try to use less Systane as it is expensive and at night use the one i was prescribed for inflammation(Biflace, salt - Flurometholone Acetate ) because if i slept with systane, in the morning the rash will really increase.
Looking at this forum i realize, there are lot of options available but not in India, when i go to chemists, i look a a lot, there are only 2 salts available, hypromellose and carboxymethylcellulose (many brands selling those 2 salts, with high and less dosage)& systane is not available everywhere as its expensive.
Duct plugs and stuff like those are not available here, i also looked a bit for those glasses which will cover whole eye and create vaccum, no luck.
Also today 2 drops of Systane today(one in each eye) gave me bad rash, increased reddishness, so i'm thinking, its gotten like old, been 10 days since i opened the bottle, am i thinking right? bad stuff have to buy new
I've tried warm compress, gave me aches in the area above eye and below eyebrows.
So if anybody from India can help maybe? other intelligent people of the world help is welcome, i would like to know of an alternative which i can put in eye at night because i think using Inflammation medicine every night, not a good idea.
Also any other advice is welcome, please.
I think my english is good, but writing this post i realize how bad it is, so excuse that.
