I recall you said you got a very expensive thing to use for dry eye. I googled it and if I recall it was something you put in your nose and it would make the tear ducts work. Did that work for you at all?

I too have suffered from severe dry eye for a long time now. I don't think there is going to be anything that will help since one of my medications says that is a side effect.

To try to get my oil glands working the eye doctor had me get an eye mask and heat it up and sit with it on for 10 min. several times a day. I am not good at doing that as when sitting I like reading or watching TV. So have not been faithful enough to know if it would work or not.

Hope you find some relief.

I remember that you also suffered from dry. It’s really hard when I’m medication causes it. No way around that!

That true to your device worked until I stop sneezing. Once I got used to it and quit sneezing it didn’t create any tears at all. Luckily there was a 30 day period to send it back. So I did although I haven’t got my refund yet.

What I have found works for me to make me sit there for 10 minutes as I listen to YouTube videos. As long as it’s not something that you need to watch that is! Otherwise I end up with the eye mask on my forehead for 10 minutes while I watch, not the best for my eyes!
