How do you deal with dry eyes?

I recently got the permanent silicone plugs put in and it's wonderful. I had the temporary ones made from collagen first and did great with them. I am hoping to come off Restasis and Systane Complete soon. Ask your eye doctor about them. I am very pleased. Dry eyes are so much better. Praying for relief for you.

I will ask about them. I had plugs twice before from my previous ophthalmologist. I’m not sure what they were made of. They were placed into my tear ducts. I can’t say they made much of a difference, although during that time I had very aggravated eyes. They didn’t stay in very long and eventually fell out by the time I returned to his office. Maybe, there are new ones out now. I’ll check. Thank you for your kind words and prayers. So goad you have found relief! That’s awesome!

Do you still cleanse your lids everyday? I was told to scrub lashes with baby shampoo, butI have found that my eyes are more comfortable when I don’t do that,
