Try non preserved steroids Minims by Bausch and Lomb could be that the Dexamethasone is preserved with BAK (benzalkonium chloride) cause that will do it. I cannot use anything preserved with BAK burns like hell and eyes turn all red and bloodshot and sore, almost immediately.

Do you know where I can find testosterone cream?
I've reading this:
Testosterone Cream. Research conducted at Harvard Medical School confirmed several years ago, that an imbalance of too much estrogen and not enough testosterone is linked to the presence of dry eyes, meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis. Women using birth control pills, for instance, will often experience problems with dry eyes. Testosterone plays a crucial role in producing the oil, the lipid constituent that lubricates, covers and protects the tear film on the eyes. Developing a testosterone eye drop to address dry eye, MGD, and blepharitis, which concern the lids rather than the eye itself, has not been very effective for any number of reasons. Most notably, only 1 to 3 percent of an eye drop actually penetrates the eye to reach the intended target tissue, the remainder will drain away. The eye’s rapid turnover of tears also creates a problem for any eye drop. It’s no surprise that topical creams have proven to be far superior to drops for the treatment of dry eye, MGD, and blepharitis, as they provide longer residence time at the site of application and also insure much better penetration.
Doctor Belmont states that “correcting the imbalance locally, with a topical testosterone cream applied directly to the skin on the eyelid has been very successful for our chronic sufferers.”

My doctor prescribed me a 5 percent testosterone cream a while back. I know hormones are an issue for me so I figured this would work. I think all the cream did was clog my glands up and I ended up feeling worse in the end. I read this mainly only works in menopausal women. I am now trying the progesterone cream on my inner thighs daily. It's only day 2 though. I read progesterone is an anti inflammatory hormone so here's hoping. I am 28 but have had this since 23.

- Artificial tears (Hylo-Forte, Hylo-Care, Hylo-Dual, Clinitas, Systane Balance, Thealoz Duo, Cationorm, Carmellose PF, Lumecare, Liquigel, EvoTears, Hyabak, Emustil, Refresh Mega 3 and more I'm forgetting)
- Ointments (VitA-Pos, Xailin Night / LacriLube, Muro 128)
- Steroids (Dexamethasone, Prednisilone)
- Antibiotics (Chloramphenicol, Levofloxacin)
- Mucolytics (Acetylcysteine eye drops)
- Cyclosporine (known as Restasis in US, Ikervis here in UK)
- Tear duct plugs, uppers and lower
- Moisture chamber glasses
- Sleep masks
- Eyelid hygeine (hyochlorous sanitizer, Ocusoft Plus, Cliradex tea tree oil)
- Eyelid moisturizers (iLast Hydraclean Gel, coconut oil, castor oil)
- Warm compresses, cold compresses, facial steamer
- Humidifier
- Nutrition and supplements, lemon green tea
- Software / browser add-ons
- Prokera Plus amniotic membrane
- Autologous blood
May be more I'm forgetting.
I am from the UK, did any of the above help you? Hylo-forta isn't really doing anything for me tbh, around evening time my eyes start to sting like a ***** and glow red.
