How do you deal with dry eyes?

I'll have to look for the Systane ointment. I liked the first Baush and Lomb one, but not the ones after. Do carry drops with you for times of dry eyes, especially for those hours on the computer.

@lacy2 I keep it in the ref6 use to burn some but it doesn't now Glad you had a better day May I ask about what kind of pain you have ,is it your back.? Mine is 2 back fractures started it all Now it's all lower back stenosis herniated disc nerves in groin area fill on fire especially at night Yesterday I walked to much had a bad night 1Hr,sleep ug

@loribmt One other thing for the eyelids A friend told me was get some baby shampoo With a q tip dip in and clean eyelids then with other end rinse then dry its was surprising how good the lids feel

For anyone suffering from dry eye-- omega 3/6/9/ pills (over the counter) work significantly to reduce dryness.

@jshdma how long did it take for the Omega 3/6/9 pills to start alleviating your dry eye symptoms?

It worked immediately. It may vary with the cause of dry eye, but it certainly worked (works) for me.

thanks

@lioness That’s a great suggestion for cleaning the outer lids. Thank you! In my case, it wasn’t that my eyelids were crusted shut, the eyeball/inner lid were so dry that they’d stick together during sleep. I had to put drops on my closed lids and work under to finally get my lids free. I also used warm compresses several times a day to stimulate tear production. The Systane Lubricant for Nighttime really was a game changer for me. @jshdma, interesting tip about the omega 3/6/9. I’ll look into that! Thank you.

Hi jshdma, i had posted a while ago about the Thera Tears Eye Nutrition capsules with 3/6/9. You can get them in Target or Amazon. I don’t know if another brand is available or less expensive. Glad you have also found them helpful. 😁 Helen

omega 3/6/9 is available i many drug stores, also on-line stores like Puritan Pride. Not expensive.
