Had PRK last November and have been battling severe night dry eye since. Pretty much every night without fail my eyelids adhere to my eyes, sometimes resulting in erosions. I had lower plugs put in about ten days ago. They were a little uncomfortable for about three days and then settled down nicely. On the same day I started taking a new supplement "Fish, Flax Seed and Borage Oil". In addition it also contains Evening Primrose Oil. So it's a dose of Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 all in one capsule. It's by "Nature's Bounty" or something like that. I got it at Wal-Mart.
I didn't notice any difference for the first few days, but after about five days I had a night in which my eyes did not get stuck. That was followed by two nights in which they did, and now the past two nights in a row my eyelids have not gotten stuck. So three of the past five nights have been good. I don't know if it's the plugs, the supplement, or the combination of the two, but I'm encouraged. It's the best things have been since the surgery last November.
Another thing - my eyes, especially my left eye, always had some veiny redness around the iris. In fact, one of the reasons I had PRK is because I was blaming it on my contact lenses. Since getting the plugs and taking the "Fish, Flax Seed and Borage Oil" capsules the redness has decreased markedly.
I'm hoping this is a sign that things are going to turn and not just some anomaly.
