During a recent 5-day stay in the hospital, my severe MGD dry eyes symptoms virtually disappeared. I've been out for several days, and the symptoms are mostly back though not as severe as usual. The relief was amazing -- but probably not a practical treatment for dry eye! -- and I'm trying to understand what this is telling me.
No doubt the controlled climate and pollution-free environment accounted for some of it. But most likely the biggest factor was that I slept a lot and even when awake I wasn't reading or watching TV, so my eyes were closed much more than usual, preventing evaporation. This could be a great reminder to blink more, but I'm not going the goggles route.
I'd love to know if anyone else has had this experience!!!!
thanks
