Having trouble with dry eyes with temporal arteritis. Most drops make my eyes water more from dry eyes.

Do you open your eyes at night when you are sleeping.
I have very dry eyes and I have found if I use dry eye masks at night it helps a lot. But it takes about 3 months to tell the difference.
I get my mask at the Mayo optical store.

Hi Jean,
I'm sorry you are having trouble with dry eyes and drops that don't work for you. I would suggest that you see your optometrist or ophthalmologist as soon as possible. I've had eye problems all my life and have worn glasses since I was 6. I'm 78. I've discovered that what works for me doesn't always work for someone else. We only have one set of eyes so take care of them often. It could be that your medications are affecting your eyes. Your eye doctor will know. Also pray about your situation. God made you and he can fix you! I'll say a prayer for you also.
