Expect to be seeing a lot of me :)
Been browsing for a while, finally posting! Really appreciate the value of this forum, so nice to see everyone coming together and gethering information to help one another out.
A bit about me...I am 25, I reside in Ontario, Canada. I live with my dear fiance and our rambunctious puppy and two spoiled cats. Getting married next July-can't wait! But don't want to be dealing with dry eye on the big day, or ever...
I believe I may have just been born with dry eye, I don't recall ever not having symptoms, but it became very bothersome in about 2003. And since then my eye problems have come to significantly affect my quality of life. I know that feeling when crossing a room feels like scraping something across your eyes and I know the feeling of your aching eyes being so sensitive that just turning your head to make eye contact hurts.
Yet I'm new to the world of treatment options. Last year I did have temporary collagen plugs inserted and the results were excellent, I was smiling again! but they only lasted a few months. Now I'm on the search for something more long-term, in addition to trying to find the cause, adding supplements to my regimen and whatever else it takes. I'm basically open to considering whatever is out there, I just want this feeling to go away!
