The jury is still out but just maybe this is going to work
this time. I don’t know how many of you out
there suffer from dry eye, but if you do I’m hoping this will help you
out. I’ve been dealing with this for
about four years now. Trust me, it’ll
drive you crazy. It’s impossible to do
anything without carrying around a wad of Kleenex in your pocket because my
eyes drip all the time. This is very
annoying at work, or when I'm trying to get anything else done. People ask me all day long why I’m
crying. Oh my! I’m not crying at all.
I’ve talked to pharmacists and doctors and they all
recommend OTC eye drops, which weren’t doing the job for me. Finally I even got a prescription eye drop
and that didn’t help either after I paid $45 for the tiniest bottle of eye
drops you ever saw. It would have been
$95 except I talked to my insurance company and they mailed a form to the
doctor to fill out and fax back so I could get the price lowered. I was willing to try anything once, otherwise
I wouldn’t have agreed to these even at the lower price. By this point, I was desperate to find
anything to help.
Surgery on my tear ducts is also an option but sometimes if
they perform this procedure it can cause your corneas to crack later. That’s even more problems, or the possibility
of them. I was about ready to gouge my
eyes out, except being able to see is precious to me.
This is on the drugstore shelf
Then I went to the specialist that performed my cataract surgery. He also told me to use OTC eye drops and see if they helped first. I left there feeling very discouraged because I’d tried every OTC eye drop on the shelf, except for one he told me to try along with one I had already tried. So, what the heck, I may as well see if this combo does any good. I drove to the pharmacy and got the ones I needed. This wasn’t cheap either, but at least they weren’t $45 a bottle.
I was instructed to use them and wait at least five minutes
between each drop. I wait ten in the
morning when I first get up. If I don’t
take care of it then, it won’t happen because my day gets too busy. I was super anxious to get rid of this dry
eye problem. So it takes about twenty or thirty extra minutes added to my morning routine, but I figure it’s worth it if
this plague will go way.
So far after two months, it seems to be working. If it still is six months from now I’ll say
this does work and to grab some of this stuff if you or anyone you know has dry
eye. Maybe I’ve helped someone because
this affliction is very annoying. I'll update everyone later.
