I had lasik about 4 years ago and thank God, it went okay. I only had mild dry eye afterwords and I use drops and that controls it. However, several weeks ago, my eyes got severely dry very suddenly. My eyes and eyelids were severely dry, burned, stung, were swollen and etc. I had trouble sleeping and could hardly get on the computer. I tried everything and nothing worked. Eyedrops that had helped before did not help.
I kept thinking about what I did differently to cause such severe dry eye that happened so suddenly. I realized my severe dry eye started shortly after taking the natural supplement psyllium husks. It seems I had an allergic reaction that was causing the very dry and painful swollen eyes and eyelids. The reason I did not suspect it was the psyllium husks immediately was because the reaction started over a week after I started the supplement. I did some research and saw that if people can have delayed allergic reactions to things that can start weeks after taking it.
I stopped taking the supplement 2 days ago and my eyes are so much better.
The reason I wrote this thread is to help others. It is very rare to have a reaction to psyllium husks like I did but other stuff can also cause it. If you started any med or supplement and the eyes got bad a week or even a few weeks later, it could be it. It could be you are having a delayed reaction to it. God bless.
