Hi. Recently diagnosed with dry eyes, and dry spots on cornea. What a shocker. Well got restasis last week, yes it burns, but it. Does go away. But does this drug help anyone? I do wear contacts and I'm fine. But as an optician, patients complained its pricey and didn't help them. Then I'm on it now, trying to stay positive it will work. Anyone happy with results?

No it doesn't help. I just went to small vials of sterile eye drops. 

It work .also I have to rest my eyes every few hours. Also the salve works and lasts longer but it's a bit messy.

Hi. Thank you. Its over 400$. Should do something. But years ago I remember women saying it didn't work. Never thought I'd be on it. But sterile saline works. I'll try that. Appreciate it😊

Be sure its sterile saline with no preservatives. The preservatives tend to cause drying issues. My pharmacist orders it and they come in a box of 120 in plastic small tubes with tear of replaceable tops.

it takes me a year to go thru it. Mu health insurance covers it if I have a presc for it.

Hi,

I was just wondering if perhaps wearing contacts could be an irritant to your eyes because I asked my specialist if he thought I could wear contacts but he advised against it. 

I don't use anything but the drops but what I find is that it comes and goes depending on your overall well-beingness. 

Are you taking any other supplements to help with your diet?

My mother use to get really bad ulcers in her eyes and she swore by putting cold used tea bags on her eyes. The tannin in the tea seemed to help the pain. I have used it myself and I think it does help a bit. I noticed though that the next morning just underneath my eyes the skin flaked a little but putting some cream on it helped.

Good luck with the drug :-)

Hi. Fish oils. I wear air optics, more water. I'll try restasis two mos. And Dr. And if it helped. And if dry spots on left eye go away. But I'm ok with lenses.

Tea bags is a great idea I use it after the bags r refrigerated cold apply to eyes. The tannin in the tea restricts the blood flow and inflammation .. Great for under eye puffiness

Dry spots on the eye that sounds painful how is it treated. I have dry eye not spots. Im I little curious if u tried eye salve to treat dry eye. It's very soothing.

Hi. Thank you much.😊

Ask UR doc about a salve for UR eye. I find if I use it before bedtime my eyes feel moist for most of the next day lessening the eye drop application..less burning ..

it's a real catch 22 . Some days ice packs and every 20 minutes I take a break to rest my eyes ..other days it's a constant struggle.
