I’m about two years in to my dry eye sensation. I never experienced it until getting contacts (monthly ones). The best way to describe it is that my eyes feel as if I had fallen asleep in my contacts. Never red, sometimes slightly itchy, but more so just, my lids feel stuck to my eyeball.

So I have always had on/off problems with dry eyes when I wear my contacts and recently I had some dry eye when I was wearing my glasses, traveling for 10 hours on a plane. I have always wondered about my tear film because it doesn't feel "right" and I notice that I get frothy film in the...

Hi,

I'm a 19 year old patient with MGD and aqueous deficiency dry eye, and have suffered with this since I took isotretinoin (Roaccutane, Accutane).

I'm currently treating the condition with artelac rebalance eye drops (sodium hyaluronate 0.15%), artelac nighttime gel...

Hi, everyone - I just wanted to write a post to let everyone know about my recent experiences with scleral lenses, since there still seems to be some amount of hesitation and controversy in the medical industry around their use as a treatment for dry eye. I also want to compare my experience to those...

One of the eye docs I've been talking too suggested using a Safigel 1day contact lens to treat my dry eye. Apparently its unique proprietary technology of hyaluronic acid releases from the contact lens. The plastic of the contact lens is bathed in moisture on both sides from this natural wetting agent....

I apologize for the length of my post. My situation...

Yesterday, I finally got a diagnosis for my tearful and painful eye problem that I have been experiencing for over a month. SLK! After a month, the other eye now has the same problem. Never heard of it before but learned a lot by reading the posting on this site. I now know what questions to ask...

I've been wearing a bandage contact (Night & Day) in my worse eye for about 3 weeks now.
My previous OD visit revealed some pretty bad erosions and filaments in that eye. I saw him again this week and he told me it looked better than he had ever seen it.
In the few minutes I had the...

I've been having a hard time with my RGP lenses. While they are finally comfortable for me they get intolerable after about 8 hours. I went to my recent visit and the Dr. Said my eyes were very red/veiny...this was also about my 8 hour mark. I never had this much eye redness from acuvue advanced but...

I found out today that is the brand I am getting. RGP in the center with a soft skirt. Not specifically used only for dry eye, but very helpful so that DES people can continue to wear contacts correctly if they require RGP correction. I asked about the neovascularization (sp?) and he said it takes...
