How do you deal with dry eyes?

Hi, Tyrvaya is only available by prescription. So you will need to ask your primary care physician or ophthalmologist to check in to that for you.
Here’s the website for the Tyrvaya (vafenciline) so you can read up on the product and also share it with your physician to see if it’s right for you.

I quickly read some of your previous comments and see you’re dealing with some eye issues after cataract surgery. You’ll be visiting a new ophthalmologist at John Hopkins in February. So you may want to hold off on the Tyrvaya until getting that consolation.
If your eyes are super dry have you tried Systane Nighttime Ointment?

I am sure Tyrvaya is very expensive since it is so new. Does anyone know if insurance covers it?

I know that the eye doctor said I had dry eyes, but my eyes never feel scratchy. They aren’t red. They don’t feel dry. I just feel like I have something in the outer part of my left eye. I am assuming that might be my symptom of dry eyes? The computer screen is so blurry, and I’m assuming that might be a symptom of dry eyes? I’ve just ordered the ointment and the gel drops. How often should I put in gel drops during the day? I do have astigmatism, and I wondered if the new lens did not completely fix it. I want to use the drops and ointment for several weeks before I go to the Hopkins doctor.
