How are you dealing with dry eyes?

Thanks for all the information. I cannot adjust to the multifocal lens that was placed on 8/12 and 9/5. The sensitivity to light is terrible. I can't drive when it is sunny and can't go out in the sun. The bright lights in my home that can;t be dimmed do not get turned on (bathroom lights etc) I see halos on all lights even the smallest light that may be on an electrical cord. I pray the monofocal lens gets rid of all these issues so I can have my eyes back. My family and friends say I don't look like myself because I squint all the time. It is true, I cannot open my eyes completely to any light and it doesn't take long to get a terrible headache. I was never told of the different type lenses, (toric for a stigmatism). I did get a second opinion and did a lot of research and feel I was not a good candidate for the multifocal lens since I have the stigmatism and the severe dry eye. I will update after the lens exchange and hope it is good news.

Good luck. I hope you experience improvement.

Maybe see a neuro eye doctor who can diagnose an eye disease. They also have special lenses for photophbia. Keep searching for a doctor that can help you. Where do you live?
