How do you deal with dry eyes?

That’s so miserable not being able to enjoy reading because of your dry eyes! I’m sorry for that. It’s a big part of my life and really tough to imagine giving up that daily enjoyment.
However, there was a period a few years ago, going through some medical issues, when I wasn’t able to hold a book or read much. A friend gave me a subscription Audio Books. That was a really great way to still enjoy my books without having to physically be involved. The only drawback, I would fall asleep pretty often while listening. 🥴 But it was pretty easy to simply back track to find where I drifted off.
Have you tried Audio books or another narrated literature APP? How about any Podcasts?
Another thing I’ve used but no longer need is the Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress. (About $20.00) You can put it in the microwave for an even, warm heat on the eyes without having to get up and re-warm the wash cloth? Have you tried that?

Walmart has the eye masks that you can heat in the microwave. They have some kind of beads in them. Your eyes feel moistened after about 6 minutes. I bought several for $8 each a couple of years ago. They can be washed in mild water. They are in the eye drop section. They are helpful.

I have horrible dry eyes and was a big reader (still manage newspapers). Love audio books! Added advantage is the readers voice often puts me to 😴. Kind of like reading your child a bedtime story. The library has so many eaudiobooks.
