I was recently told I have dry eyes. My eye Doctor said I could have treatment they now do in the office. My eye insurance doesn't cover it so he suggested warm compresses to help. Maybe ask your eye doctor if they have the equipment to help with dry eyes. I believe it is a fairly new technology. Best of luck to you.
I am controlling my eyelid inflammation with the heated pad, then OCUSOFT Lidscrub plus, followed by the LiD and Lash cleaner in that order. It keeps the bacteria in check.

The only treatment I know of is surgery when they drain the chalazion. However, it is not a permanent solution and might change your lid shape I have read.
My neurologist has referred me to rheumatologist for Sjogrens eval. I have many symptoms. I’ve been under an ophthalmologist’s care for many years for Salzmann’s nodules. Dry eye has dominated my life for years. I had a 3 year reprieve after getting acupuncture treatment from a very gifted person. Even so, i keep up my daily regimen to ward off dry eye. Recently, I had a relapse and now have an appointment to return to acupuncture. Expensive and not covered by my insurance. I don’t know that I have any other choice, based on past experience.
I am doing a daily lid scrub. Can anyone recommend the best? Then warm eye compresses twice a day. I use microwave beads or warm wash cloth. Daily preservative free Systane drops in individual vials as needed, nightly Systane PM eye ointment, other ointment during the day if needed for pain, massage around eyes, drink plenty of water, take 2000 mg Fish oil daily, avoid fans and I just bought a humidifier for my bedroom. I’ve also requested a prescription for plasma drops. Also, expensive and not covered by my insurance.
I had tear duct plugs twice, years ago, but didn’t see much benefit.
Dry eye aggravates the nodules on my cornea and I’m terrified of vision loss.
I’d appreciate any suggestions, especially for eye scrubs and compresses. I’m concerned of something being too harsh.
I have Sjogrens, dry eyes - gets worse at night- all light literally painful. Ophthalmologist may but in plus. For now, zblik drops & warm compresses. Good luck. But I see this is an old post.

I use Avanova for eyelid wash and absolutely love it! I “wash” w Q tip in AM and before bed. It is so refreshing and my best my dry eye has been in a long time!

Baby shampoo has been recommended for years. It is mild and non irritating and not expensive. Avenova is over the counter…. I have been using it for three weeks and hope to continue it…..

2 ReactionsThat’s great news. I was told to scrub lids once a day. Hmmmm…..I wonder why. Rught now, I’m using baby shampoo. How long do you do it?

I use avenova twice a day and rub eyelashes and lids for 10-15 seconds per eye.
