Hello @deborahfrick123

I'm sure you are happy that you do not have glaucoma. I can understand your eye discomfort. I also use artificial tears. There are many brands and everyone usually finds one brand that works well for them.

Regarding the acumen pads, I'm wondering if he was thinking about the lid scrub pads that you can buy in the drug store? Take a look at the "eye section" in your local drug store for lid scrubs. Many of them add moisturizer and really feel good when you wipe your lids, especially first thing in the morning.

Dry eyes can be so uncomfortable. I would encourage you to look at a Connect discussion on that topic. Here is the link, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/dry-eyes-1/. You will find many members here talking about how they deal with the discomfort of dry eyes.
