How are you dealing with dry eyes?

@mtnwoman when I was at my optometrist yesterday he had a flyer advertising ipl and light therapy for dry eyes. I have tried the punctal plugs but they drove me nuts. Anyone tried the light therapy?

@cjval52 hello, I have done IPL. My optometrist does an acute series of 4 treatments all relatively close together, I can’t remember but it was maybe 2-4 weeks apart. Then maintenance every 6 months. These come highly recommended by my docs so I get them, but I find them incredibly painful. It also a huge out of pocket cost. None of the dry eye treatments are inexpensive, it seems!

I am definitely considering the ipl. I'm not sure if I should wait until this round of cyclosporine is through to see if I have any improvement, or just go for the ipl now.
