People with regular dry eyes diagnoses

[lizlou29]

Hi Irish Eyes

I originally had it prescribed by my Ophthalmologist but now my GP can prescribe it. It was no problem for my local pharmacy to get hold of because it is often prescribed for bacterial conjunctivitis. Use for MGD is off-label.

Wow. I'm glad I missed all the terse exchanges while they were happening, I'm always sooo tempted to micromanage.

Just a reminder to all of part of the forum policy:

• Above all else, please be courteous and respectful of others' feelings. This includes, of course, all forum moderators and yours truly. Courtesy truly is paramount in this forum and your participation is contingent upon compliance.
  
• Tact and humility are greatly valued here. Avoid presenting your opinions as indisputable facts or your personal experiences as broad-brush truths.

Posts that suggest there's some fix that would help everyone or even most people can be intensely annoying. DryEye4Ever, I am sure you mean well and I know you say you're not an expert, don't know all the different diagnoses etc, but you also make a lot of broadbrush statements about what will happen if we change diet etc. I'm all for diet change, personally, but the fact is, neither you nor I nor anybody else here knows squat about what WILL happen to someone ELSE's dry eye symptoms or inflammation or anything else when they change their diet. So you're going to get disgruntled replies if you post that way. What people can relate to better here is just sharing your own experiences - we all learn from each other

MGD666 (black metal lover? I'm a crazy metalhead too!) sorry I haven't seen your question! Yes in my case Azyter seems to help. I'm on it twice a day for 3 days every 15 days (that's complicated haha), and when on it my eyes are really better, less red and dry. Unfortunately it's an antibiotic and I don't like taking them long term... My prescription is for 6 months, that's crazy in my opinion but if it's the only way...!

Rebecca, just, thank you

Diet? I have lost nearly 40 lbs. eating like a rabbit and although my body feels better and my eyes do to, it's not the end all.
......
I will agree to one thing. Clean living will make it better.
1. Good sleep.
2. Good food.
3. Lots of water. Like A LOT of water.
4. Less stress.

but that is basically the answer to anything. is an obvious answer. Live well and you'll feel well?

Sometimes it's not so obvious rather counterintuitive.

For example, lots of water is contraindicated for people with travel sickness.
For them - unsalted soda crackers is indicated (anti-nausea).
Computer "Hangovers" is similar to flu, travel sickness as well as alcohol-hangovers.

So when you say "lots of water" you may make yourself even more "sea-sick"
...so why not try Unsalted soda crackers plus honeyed-tea instead..

When you say "good food" - you may consider Himalayan Salt and/or Arginine "good food"
But when I get computer-hangovers, any salt (or arginine or spices) WORSENS the headache.
In fact, when I get computer headaches, sweeteners (vs. salt) is good for me
So is lysine-products, such as lowfat-milk, eggs, yogurt...
...and coffee, and veggies (and some fruit as long as they're mild, smooth & non-abrasive

When you say:
"sleep VS stress"
...that is also counter-intuitive - here's why:

When you sleep - your head becomes like the +++ of a battery.
It's the reason why ill people may sometimes feel "ughy" upon arising in the morning.
It's the reason why brisk-walking helps these same people.
Because brisk walking ReDirects the ++++charge from the cranium ---> to the legs

...(just quoting Dr.Becker, author of Cross Currents etc. - he was brilliant.
