I am not sure what you mean by 'bumps on the episode eye lid' Also allergy meds can dry eyes. Hopefully with forest fire season over that should help a lot. If I had to live that close to smoke I would not have been able to go outside, the pain was debilitating.
Also be aware that saline can disrupt the tear film even though I personally do use it for an eye drop since I have become hyper sensitive to everything that goes into my eyes. I would follow that flush with an artificial tear drop. For what it is worth I cannot even tolerate the non preserved saline that is used to fill scleral lenses I have to use the nebulizer type.
Regarding the Dry Eye docs I will tell you that these guys are recommending some tests that I have never heard of (that's a good thing). Be wary of lipiflow treatments there is not much positive about it on this forum and it is pricey. having said that there is recently one member MGD1701 has stated in a post that it helped him/her, so it is a crap shoot. Lipiview is OK as it is just a test and not so pricey.
My opinion, I would give them a go.....F/G
