....have had dry eyes over 20 yrs and like you tried many options...and now do have glaucoma; there is an article on internet titled "Dry Eyes And Glaucoma - Double Trouble"... years ago dentists and an optometrist said check with family dr to see if I had Sojourns and sorry if not spelled correctly and he wouldn't do it... and as mouth dry etc. I feel I should have pursued.
I think medications over the years have caused dry eyes and the ones I am on still might ... used just about every eye drop in pharmacy and was using Hylo for few years but even that now is not as effective, so switching around different ones again - read the ingredients on Internet.... chemicals etc. so could be helping dry eyes yet causing the burning, redness, swollen eyelids etc. Hopefully someone here will offer a solution and I would be interested too! Using previously boiled water and a new face cloth I did try warming up in microwave the wet cloth making sure not too hot and put over eyes and I did feel a bit of comfort but to keep doing thise many times a day up and down stairs I gave up but worth a try? Best of luck, J.
