[quote=Anonymous]I have chronic dry eyes. My ophthalmologist recommended that I take flaxseed oil or fish oil. Tried restasis. Didn’t work. Tried Xiidra. It helped, but I eventually developed some allergy to it. It made my eyes super itchy. Had to stop. Tried Tyavara nasal spray. It irritated my nasal cavity severely. High Lo eye gel, Refresh Omega 3, and Optase gel helped, but only as a temporary relief. I so tried a procedure called lipiflow. It’s intended for people with MGD. For me, the help was temporary. My doctor said it’s not for my type of dry eye. I saw a rheumatologist. He tested me for sjogren’s disease. I was tested negative. However, he said about half of people with Sjogren’s will test negative by blood. I don’t have dry mouth at all. So he did not test me with saliva gland biopsy. I was told the best solution for me is to have plugs put in my tear ducts. You can’t feel them, I was told. That’ll be my next step. [/quote]
