Ok, it might seem that the streaming eyes you get with a cold would improve things, but I haven't found it that way at all.
Thanks to the cold I am sleeping too long and deeply, which means I keep waking up with corneal erosions and the eyedrops don't stay in because my eyes are watering too much. Something that would take 40mins to deal with is now taking the rest of the night. Vicks Inhalers work, but they are extremely painful thanks to the eye issue (in other words, I did it once and I'm not trying that again). Does anyone have any hints or tips for managing a cold and dry eye/corneal erosions? The only bright spot is that my eyes aren't opening on waking because they are gunked shut, or it would be even worse.
