What if you have a peen and not a pus?[/quote]

it’s worth looking into, but most of the symptoms are also symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

I have an entire dry eye regimen. It really helps… I do Tear Care every year, which is done at my Eye Dr.’s Office. They place these little devices on your lids and it pulses. Doesn’t hurt, takes about 15 minutes. Then the eye doctor manually probes the lids… Sounds bad but actually takes about two minutes per eye and only parts of it are a little bit uncomfortable. It’s a little bit costly though… at my doctor it costs about $700 But it’s worth it to me and I don’t use eye drops so saving money there.

I tried to do 15 minutes of a warm compress every night. Just getting the water really hot and then just every couple minutes reheating the rag and placing it over my eye. Just do it while I listen to music or a podcast and I find a very relaxing.

I take omega 3s and try to eat a lot of healthy fats anyway and stay hydrated, follow a healthy lifestyle. Try to limit screen time when I can and Just try to do blinking exercises.[/quote]
