Hi!

Hi, I'm Tilly (obviously)!
I've been struggling with dry eyes for 6m, finding few answers
My doctors and opticians have been thorough and lovely but seem to be philosophical
Which is frustrating when they're so bad that I can't sleep, like now
Am hoping to find some answers so I can shrug off my frustration as easily as my GP!

Tilly, have you had an assessment from a specialist Ophthalmologist?

Hi, can't believe how long it is since I bookmarked this site!!

No, my GPs variable diagnosed rosacea (had 3 months ABs which helped but when I finished my eyes are bad again as is my facial rosacea - I don't know if they're connected)
Also allergy but anti histamine made it so much worse
And finally blepharitis

Optician agrees with latter and I take flaxseed oil, use a hot compress and lid care wipes at night, and drops in day. But I seem to be increasingly intolerant of drops

I'm told there's no point in seeing an ophthalmologist as they can't do anything GP hasn't
