Dry eyes

No sure if this subject has been talked about . Oh my dry eyes are the pits. Many times during the night I have to keep adding drops. Last Saturday night I had already put drops in 3times. Then around 4 am they were so dry I couldn’t open them or move my eyes they hurt so much, then after I put drops in the right one stung so bad, then over the next few days it got worse. So I call in place to see if my optometrist could have a look, I told him it felt like something was in my eye. I explained what happened early Saturday morning. But no nothing in the eye apparently my eye lense was stuck to my eye lid and when I open my eye it tore my cornea and I now have a small ulcer, the cream he gave me to put in every hour hasn’t worked so going back today to get a contact lense patch up on. Oh it sucks.

Hi Harpy,

Do you always go to sleep with your contact lenses in ? I would have thought you’d have to pop them into something at night line me and my glasses .

Changing back to your dry eyes do you feel like your eyes are letting out tears or fluid at the edges of both eyes .

Hi johnno, I have never worn contacts , I do wear glasses though. The eye dr put a contact patch on my eye to keep it moist and now my eye back to normal. So scared of it doing that again, bloody hurt. Harpy

Hi Harpy ,
Sorry but when you said your lense was stuck I just though of a contact lense my mistake ,

Do you suffer dry eyes johnno? There’s got to be something to ease it. I am constantly putting drops and creams in. Harpy

I have this too. I'm allergic to the preservatives in most eyedrops, yay Me! I ordered a heated eye mask off ebay. It's USB so I plug into the back of my clock radio and it heats up releasing steam onto the eyes allowing the oils to melt and work better. Its not the cure of it, but definitely helps and the mask keeps the eyes from drying out too. Hope this helps
