Dear Ellen I have the same problems as you. I am now 83 but still have most of my sight. So do not worry to much. Of course I cannot drive a car any more but I can watch television (the boob tube) so all is still good. Continue to see your opthomalogist and we can still smile because it could be worse. I appreciate whatever is left on my plate. Your eyes must be beautiful to look at. For the best of life. Peach

I had cataract surgery in one eye. I elected not to have same ophthalmologist do the other eye because my new eye now has a pupil larger than in the other eye (I think from stretching during surgery) and I have a very slight eyelid droop (again from a tool he used). He told me he had trouble dilating my eye prior to surgery (but later on, he denied he said that ?!?). THE GOOD NEWS IS MY DISTANCE VISION HAS DEFINITELY IMPROVED and the surgery was not painful. But, with regard to your question on dry eyes - I use a computer daily for many hours. I use drops (Systane and others). But what I want to mention is the BRUDER EYE PADS. The Dr. suggested them and I find them to be very good. The mask (eye pads) has granules in it; you put it in the microwave for 14 seconds. Then (it cannot be TOO HOT) put them over you eyes for 5 minutes. I think they help and I believe the heat opens the tiny blood vessels in your eyelid which simulates tears. (NOW, I MAY NOT HAVE EXPLAINED THat CORRECTLY, BUT I DO THINK THEY HELP). Best wishes, "GolfandTennis".
I've listened to a site from 2 ophthalmologists.... they say Dry Eyes actually comes from blocked (Mobian ?) glands... they secret OIL all along and just inside both eyelids.
look into that ...... ( Ithink that is where your getting the benefits of the Bruder Eye Pads.. It helps loosen the blocked oil glands.... there are from 25-30+ along each eyelid.....but if they have already atrophied or started to, you'll need more help.

My ophthalmologist prescribed Restasis, which helps a lot
I also have (autoimmune VKH disease, which inflames the choroid.

you can find Visuals fro the eyes (and any parts of the body) on Pinterest and many other sites.... even 3-D Virtual... too cool.
