Dry eye

[In Florida]

Has anyone used plugs in their tear ducts for dry eyes? Seems like an easier way to go than Restasis which I do nightly and are expensive and OTC eye drops which I forget to do.

Hello everyone, I'm also experiencing DED and i have no proper diagnosis for the lack of dry eye clinics here in the Philippines. I'm only using eye drops for relief.

Greetings to everyone,

I'm Chris, I live in the U.K. and for the last year and a half I've been suffering from DED due to severe MGD. When I initially had DED symptoms, I went to the local Specsavers in Coventry for an eye test and they told me that "it is just an eye strain"...

Has anyone had dreams of getting better and then waking up to reality? I've only woken up and its 4am drinking orange juice. Just woken up from a lovely dream of having no dry eye and finishing university but not sure what brought it on. Just curious if anyone has dreams of this happening to them?
