@covidstinks2023 no. It’s way more than dry eyes. When the doctor looked under my upper lid he knew right away what the problem was. My corneas, under my lids are very red, inflamed and sore. He explained that the inflammation caused my eyelids to become swollen and tight across my eyeball. So, every blink caused my lid to scratch my cornea. It was painful when it was flared up. He gave me non prescription contacts as “bandages”. When I wore them it gave me relief because they prevented the lids from touching the corneas when I blinked.
Now, years later I have dry eyes like everyone else. I understand the eye disease I had has gone away for now, however it can reappear at anytime.

Inflammation is the main problem I have in my entire body. It affects me in many ways and I’m sure this is just part of my problem.
