Dye Eye Anyone?

The OTC eye drops help mine. I have to do it throughout the day but they certainly do help. Being inside during the winter is tougher because heaters dry out things.

I’ve had problems in the winter AND in the summer. When the furnace or AC kicks on and circulates the air, it bothers my eyes. I’ve had to stop working for several minutes so that I could put drops in them and keep them closed for awhile.

After using the drops for awhile, it isn’t as awful as it was. Or, at least, not as frequent.

I have bought a year's supply of Boiron's Optique 1 30 dose eye drops for many years and they are the only ones that help me. Homeopathic, safe individual vials. If you search online you can find bargains.

I still use Restasis AM and PM in addition.

Fish oil is what optometrist recommended for me. I have recently forgotten to be taking it.

Has anyone had any tests with an ophthalmologist to determine the cause of dry eye?

[Mikala43]

I have, but they don't know.

What they could tell me is I am deficient in the "oil" that keeps tears from evaporating.

That's what I use. I use the one that have flaxseed oil and individual vials. It works wonders.

I just heard something interesting from a friend. After no luck with her first eye doctor, a second one explained that we have oil ducts in the corner of our eye, and sometimes they get blocked. In some case, it can be as simple as rubbing your eyes.
