Hi everyone! Reading everyone's stories and problems makes me feel alot less like the freak I thought I was. I don't know anyone who has the same types of problems I have had with my eyes. I have always had dry eyes. I never tolerated contacts very well back when I got them when I was 13. This led to becoming intolerant and unable to wear contacts when I was 30 years old. I had Lasik when I was 31 and it was great but made my dryness problems even worse. I have been to countless doctors to try and fix the problem. Been on antibiotic drops, had plugs, etc. Nothing has ever worked. I thought my problems were hormonal from taking Birth Control Pills but a year ago I stopped it thinking it would help and it didn't make any difference. A year later I just went back on them because it didn't seem to be the solution. Over the years I have struggled constantly with dry, irritated, mucus filled eyes. Constantly touching them and pulling mucus out of them. Thinking that people must think I am so disgusting because of it. It is actually comforting to hear other people feel the same way I do. Thank you for sharing and I hope someday we can all figure out what can help us feel better.
