Dry eye and Vevye

Posted by sunflowers22 @sunflowers22, 3 days ago

I have dry eye most all of the time since eye surgery last year. My current eye doctor is great. I have tried eye exercises, warm packs and Dr has placed tear duct devices with not much relief. I have tried many OTC drops as well. Today, I received Vevye drops. But I am a little reluctant now to try due to side effects. Has anyone had success with Vevye?
Thank you.

I, too, have tried many things for my dry eyes. Currently, I'm using generic Miebo drops; I'm not sure how effective they are, but they make my eyes feel better.
My doctor recently prescribed Vevye, which I expect to receive by mail in a few days.
What side effect are you referring to?

Good morning, eye pain and redness is my concern.
I am a retired nurse and probably over think new prescriptions. My Vevya was without cost, so that’s exciting. Happy to hear you have had some relief with the miebo

I question if you open your eyes at night when you are sleeping, Or cracking them open just a bit.
I’ve had very dry eyes for many years. A number of years ago at the optical store I was told about this sleep mask
EyeEco dry eye mask. You can get them at Amazon for about $52.
Been wearing them many years and we have worn a few out
You can also buy them directly from the company, just Google the name
