How do you deal with dry eyes?
Eye Conditions | Last Active: 21 hours ago | Replies (781)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed with Sjorgrens Syndrome many years ago (2008). They had prescribed Restasis Eye Drops twice a day to help your eyes produce fluid and Pilocarpine to help with dry mouth. I'm still on the same scripts. I can't say they work great but my Sjorgrens is related to Rheumatoid Arthritis and seems to come and go. The Pilocarpine was unpleasant for me. After taking it I would get the sweats and be very cold. I'm not sure this info. will help anybody but send my best wishes to all for the battles we fight daily.🌷

My Othamologist has put plugs in the corners of my my eyes-both upper and lower lids. They have really helped my dry eyes. I have the non permanent ones as he said the permanent ones can get infected. I have had them in for 10 years and have had no problems. One fell out recently but he just popped another back in.
I still use restasis and systane drops. But mainly at night. I hope this helps. Take care everyone.
