My eye doc recommended this therapy for my dry eyes after my cataract surgeries. My eyes are driving me crazy. I am thinking of going ahead with it. The cost is around $1300.00. The way my luck has been going, it will not help, and I will be out more money. I would be interested in how well it works if you decide to go ahead with it.

I would appreciate feedback about light therapy for dry eyes. I also have blepharitis, both lids. Eyes swollen and exuding viscous fluid since April, ’24. Xiidra is not helping. Also taking Doxycycline 50 mg 1x/per. I am immune deficient, if that helps. Starting Xembify infusions tomorrow.

Hi, I know that making the decision of the light therapy can be confusing and difficult. I also battled with my decision of going ahead with it in April. The thought of melting glands doesn't thrill me, nor does the price that isn't covered by insurance. My eyes are like yours though and driving me nuts, even though I've not had cataract surgery. (That also frightens me.) My eyes go very blurry though, water constantly, burn and sting almost nonstop. Maybe you can talk with your eye specialist and ask them tons of questions to help your decision. It's not an easy one to make, but a necessary one to decide on. Also, maybe do a search on the pros and cons of it in a search engine. I can update you in April after I begin mine, but that's still a while to wait. Let me know what you decide. I wish you the best. Blessings to you.
