How do you deal with dry eyes?

Hi Nancy,
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. This is awful and gross to say the least. My eyes don get itchy but I do get the crust that you described and they feel irritated a lot. Will check out Facebook. I will definitely push my eye doctor on this. He’s affiliated with Will’s Eye - a top eye Hospital in Philadelphia. This has truly been an eye opener!

Thanks again!

My doctor is also in Philadelphia, but at Scheie Eye Institute, which is now part of Penn Medicine. She only does dry eye and is the person who prescribed Xdemvy for me, but never used the word "Demodex" when she prescribed it. I read it on my way home from the appointment in the exit papers. That's when I started doing research. Now, when I see her we talk Demodex. She said there hadn't been a cure before Xdemvy and there was no sense in scaring people if she couldn't do something about it other than ease symptoms. I'm assuming she now tells people.
