My Sclerals have started burning.

[Nevil]

So, I have been a scleral lens wearer for 4-5 months. Had stopped it later as I wasn't able to wear them comfortably for more than 2 hours.
Post some investigations I was put on DMARDs(Disease-modifying antirheumatic drug) and cyclosporine little later.

A little after starting DMARDs...

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. Positive experience or negative or in between ? How was the process of having them put in and could you feel them when...

I recently tried to get my Restasis drops but was told the insurance no longer covers themThey now cover the generic version which I assume is Teva in Canada. I compared the non-medical ingredients online and the appear lot be the same. That means the delivery vehicle for cyclosporine should theoretically...

Hi, everyone

I was diagnosed MGD and blepharitis.

I am on Xiidra, warm compress, systane eye lid wipe, 2700mg omega-3, blinking exercise.

Now, if I do not use computer or cell phone, I have no symptom. If I work, every 40 minutes I take a short

I've posted about this before but forgot to stress one point, my visual symptoms are not only at night but also during the day! Hence nothing to do with pupil size.
When I look at bright car lights during the day, I will see a huge but thin starbursts surrounding it. This happens when my pupil...

Hi all

I have been suffering of starbursts and glare for some time now and seeking help/advice form those who may have gone through a similar situation.

I had lasik done 1 year ago; for the first three months everything was perfect: I could drive at night, go out at night,...

So I had lasik surgery done and had a regression a year after.. so I decided to get it again.. the first time I had -5 in both eyes. Before the last surgery I had -0.75 in both eyes, so I decided to get lasik again. Anyway its been 13 months since the surgery and ever since the surgery I have pain behind...

Hi, I know there a quite a few post about this subject but I couldn't find any recent one.
I developed dry eye due to my birth control, I've never in my life had any type of issues with my eyes, well just astigmatism..
First I was on a pill, to be honest I can't even remember the name I...

About six years ago, I had LASIK for the first time. I had really bad vision (about -5.00) and contact lenses were too uncomfortable to wear. It's not that I refused to wear glasses... it's that I felt utterly useless when waking up, going swimming, looking for my glasses, etc. I didn't want to be so...

Hi everyone,

I am currently on a four drop regimen of restasis, lotemax gel, patanol, and artificial tears. I am taking the lotemax and patanol because of very bad ocular allergies that has manifested into papillary conjunctivitis (I have seen an optometrist about this). I have been on...

I seek advice for my friend who is visually impaired and ignorant of treatments available.

I brought her to see the dry eye specialist for the first time after 3 weeks of inflammed...

[nori2015]

I had lasik 6 years ago - zero issues. I had a PRK top up 9 months ago - lots of issues!

I have read older stories by Prattstar, Jovver, Hangus etc and I see that they went through a really terrible time. And they seem to be much much better now. They seemed to also have a lot worse of...

Hi, I'm new to this site.
I have had chronic dry eye syndrome for 30 years and have a diagnosis of Sjogren. A new eye doctor has just suggested Restasis but looking at their internet site, it says there was no new tear production with plugs or cauterization. I have one eye with plugs and one...

I got Lasik in in early February 2015. It was part of my life plan to have it done before my 30’s (I’m 29) so to better enjoy my following projects such a special effects make-up and travelling. In the country I live, Lasik is mandatory to everyone wanting to get in the police force, and here was my...
