"Good evening" @peach414144, I feel genuinely saddened by your eye problems on top of your other significant medical challenges. My many years in dry climates with very low humidity led me to finally face the music and take care of my eyes. Years ago, Restasis was the first breakthrough medication other than drops and ointments.

Now there is Xiidra which has helped with everything but my pocketbook and that includes relief from dry eye syndrome in much less time than other options. Have you tried the hot eyelid compresses that you place on your eyes to keep the oil in the meibomian gland from hardening? These glands secrete oil onto the surface of the eyes with each blink to keep the corneas well lubricated.

Do you wear sunglasses for severe sensitivity? They sure help. And have you had lipiflow treatments? I think they kept those glands from drying up completely.

And finally, my Ophthalmologist told me that the only sure-fire way to remove dry eye threats was to live in a rain forest. So...here I am in a place where the humidity is at least in the double digits. I do notice that the ground is covered with white. Hmmmmmm?????

She told me she cant use hers now just bought a new one , so thanks for sharing . My eyes arent that bad yet but I am going to ask Dr about xiidra see what she says. One thing I do is use a eye wash in morning and evening to wash the pollution, burning out of my eyes. Have a good day
