I use a tincture with a ratio of 8CBD to 1THC and I take 5cc of it. I take one dose in the am, one about 2 pm and then 2 am. I am on Gabapentin and since I take 2 of them at bedtime, I wait until I wake up around 2am and take the 5 cc. I keep the tincture in the fridge as they recommend. It helps control the pain. I have taken THC but I fell in June when a defective step stool collapsed. I am still feeling the aftereffects of my concussion. I hope this helped. Joan
Hi @willows, I have very dry eyes too, a side effect from a medical condition. What I’ve found, which works really well for me, is an over the counter product called Systane Nighttime Ointment (it contains no preservatives) I’ve also used their eye-drop gel which works great. But this is wonderful for nighttime use.
It comes in a little tube and right before you go to sleep, squeeze out a small line of the paste on the inside of the lower eye lid. It melts over the eye providing a protective coating all night. It will blur your vision a little so that’s why I go to sleep right away. If you blink several times your vision returns to normal.
I find that it works best if it’s applied routinely every night. I don’t even need my gel eye drops during the day anymore! My eyes feel really healthy, no more grittiness or burning.
My last eye exam, even my ophthalmologist commented on how healthy my looked regarding dryness.

Hi Mentor. In response to your question, I am using I-DROP pur gel. Made by I-MED pharma, made in Montreal. I also use Hydrasense gel eye drops but I don’t find them quite as good. The chemical formulation is different from the I-DROPS. Thanks for your info on the Systame eye ointment. I will see whether I can get them in Montreal.

I developed severe dry eye while taking a BTK inhibitor for Waldenstrom’s Lymphoma. I also use Systane nighttime ointment and drops, as needed during the day.
Has anyone heard of a newly FDA approved treatment for dry eye?

Is it a good one?
Have very dry eyes. I am using a gel eye drops twice a day. I feel some relief as the gel type stays in the eye longer than regular eye drops

1 ReactionThanks. What is in Toronto must also be in Montreal. Probably under a French label!
