Hi, I'm 22 and have dry eye nearly a year now. I'm going back to see my ophthalmologist on Tuesday as I have been using hyabak drops every hour and celluvisc nightly for the last 3 months without any improvement. After doing some research myself, I now have a good knowledge of the disorder and am distressed...

I spent many nights reading on here for some light at the end of my dark tunnel. I suffered a living hell! If I could have...

Hi everyone,

I never had any dry eye issues at all until about a month ago (maybe a little more). I went to Hawaii in August and came down with a pretty bad sinus infection and pink eye along with that. I was treated for bacterial pink eye, and that resolved, but after I got back from...

So I'm 9 months post-LASIK and have both my lowers plugged. For a month after getting them plugged, I was almost asymptomatic. The pain was reduced significantly. Now, my the pain in my right eye has come back, although not as severe as pre-plugs. My theory is that my tear production decreased after...

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share my current regimen and what has been helping me. I have AQD and MGD post-lasik (8 months). I have my lower puncta plugged (made the biggest difference) and use Restasis 2x day with 100% serum tears throughout the day. Warm compresses also really help....

Hi,

I had lower silicone plugs put in about a month ago and experienced immediate relief from dry eye pain. However, my eyes started bothering me more than usual again in the recent days. After a dr's visit, my TBUT did go down to 3-4 sec with the plugs even though I used to be 7 s a...

I'd like to see a study on the incidence of suicidal ideation among patients with Dry Eye. That statistic might help get some attention, funding, research, etc.

My Magic Wand

In the shower today, and continued on my drive into the office, I was thinking what I would do if I had a “Magic Wand” …

The bad things I would do:

Unfortunately, I have a lot of bad thoughts, most are now in the past – perhaps this is simply...

Hi, I had Lasik around seven years ago, and have had some problems with dry eyes in the mornings, but apart from that no problems until last summer, when I started to become photophobic. This summer, in the beginning of July, I woke up with a strange foreign body/pain sensation, mainly in my left eye,...
