How do you deal with dry eyes?

Warm eye pads a few times a day loosens up the oil glands. Plus, feels relaxing.

OTC BLINK eye drops

Try heat pads over the entire eye socket and gently massage the nasal join between the eyes to assist in loosening & circulating the natural lubricant.
I also use Cationorm eye drops one drop each morning , noon & evening.

@shirlee05 I was just diagnosed my doctor has me on Sustain 2 drops in each eye 4 times a day. I'm spending a fortune I want her to prescribe a eye drop my part D will cover, no luck so far.

My Restasis prescription was $147 with insurance until I asked for a generic. Now it's $57. It's for 1 month but I use it longer.

The heat pads really help NATURALLY too. Doctor said 2x day. And they are calming. I say my prayers then.

I have plugs in my tear ducts and it has really helped me. I thought it was a strange idea when the doctor suggested them but he was right about it helping.

I have had Sjogrens for 8 years and dry eyes have gotten very bad with cornea pitting. Gritty and burn and blurry vision.
I soak eyes, use Refresh Mega 3 drops, Celluvisc , and Serum drops . At night i use systane ointment and gel drops,
I tried Xiidra and Restasis, unsuccessfully. Also plugs and Prokera patch.

@marye2 Thank you! Good advice! I do pretty much the same,but I must me careful with anything with xylitol as it upset by digestive system! I found out the hard way. But, I’m also lactose intolerant. So it took a bit of research to figure out the xylitol issues. Warm wet washcloths or packs do help a lot. I suppose because it adds moisture.

Sustained drops work wonders. Ask a eye doctor for help. There are prescription eye drops that also work.
