My eyes have been very wet since I began PMR treatment with Prednisone. My optometrist explained that I have dry eye caused by the eye bulge that I have developed with treatment. My eyes apparently do not shut completely when I blink or sleep which causes my eye to over produce tears to address the problem. Unfortunately, eye drops have not helped much. My eyes are constantly wet but definitely not sticky. I hope this info is helpful. I admit that I dream of the day that I am off of steroids and can wear eye makeup again. 😂🤣

I wore eye makeup for over half a century and was really bummed at first when I had to stop because of my red, sticky eyes from Prednisone. But nowadays it seems liberating. Lol I had hair loss from the pred too and my hair grew back curly. Seen that happen with chemo patients but was surprised when it happened to me. Surprised and happy! It also feels liberating having curly hair now that I don't have to fuss with, just wash and go. I don't go much these days because of my compromised immune system, but when I do go I can get ready much faster than I used to. Silver lining......
