a humidifier near my bed seems to help, swim goggles sounds like a good idea but seems like they would be too uncomfortable. Helen
@lacy2 I don't blame you for having a "pity-party". Hope you recover from the c-difficile soon. My friend's daughter was quite seriously ill with that. On top of that, we are still in the midst of this pandemic.
I had no luck with Restasis. It caused lots of burning and stinging for me and it takes several months until you know whether its effective or not. I did fill a script for Xiidra, (expensive), and it sits in a cabinet. Reluctant to use it. It takes a couple of weeks using it to know whether it will work.
Feel better.

3 ReactionsThankful that, so far, I only have the dry eye.
Well, I wasn't going to say anything but sometimes I did throw them on the carpet in the middle of the night🙂

@helencicola and @sue225, Have you tried Thera Tears? My husband just had cataract surgery and is using them. I bought a bottle for myself and find it soothing. Good luck! @joybringer1

@weezy1930 I have dry eyes and finally have the perfect produce for me after trying many products from the drug store. I use De 3 which I purchase at my eye doctors office. You can also buy it on line. It's expensive but it works.
Will make a note of Thera tears. First I want to try Optiva mega with flaxseed and castor oil.
