Hello,
this is a great site and really informative for newbies. I stumbled across it after searching for information on Lacrilube.
After seeing a specialist I've been diagnosed with DES and given BionTears 4 x a day and Lacrilube at nights. He suspects my eyes may be partially openwhen I'm asleep. I already have a history with Bion after trying it for a while to alleviate sore, bloodshot eyes. Much like others here, I had been using several different kinds of drops to help over the last year or more that, overall, just made things worse and my eyes, sore and gritty and eyelids inflammed. Visine is the worst - and likely a dirty word on such an educated site as this! I see Lacrilube doesn't rate that highly here either, however I do have a perservative free one that they sell here in Australia.
I have found using BionTears in the office with bright lights and computers no relief at all. If anyone has a good suggestion, based on their experience in the office, I would be greatful to hear about it!? There is no way my eyes could tolerate those drops 4 times a day.
To be honest, I feel getting off the cocktail of drops helped with my comfort level , even if my eyes were still red at times. My symptoms are often much improved over the weekends, away from the office, but still inflammed and red first thing in the morning.
I empathise with a lot stories here. Appologies for this post being a bit long! It's a relief to have a diagnosis at last and hopefully start to do something about it.
cheers
