Avoid LED lights.
That includes computer screens, TVs/flatscreens, Phones, lighting, etc.

It's the LED's.

For me, avoiding any unnecessary screen time has been huge. (Yes I know where I am).

Restasis side effects include pancreatic cancer.

Do you have a legitimate source for that statement? I have never seen anything about that.

I just spent 10 minutes googling and couldn't find anything related to this. I swear some people on this forum just spew garbage.

You idiot its on the pamphlet that comes with the drug. Plain as day.

My phone spies on me so Blinkjoy keeps popping up. Are they actually effective?

I belong to a LASIK complications FB group and lots of people recommend the Bruder mask though some say it cools down too quickly ( you heat it in the microwave). I think it is an individual preference and since Bruder is cheaper, you might want to try that first.

Totally anecdotal. I have terrible dry eyes. Vitamin C chewable tablets are a lifesaver for me. I also do wetting drops in the morning. But it’s the Vitamin C. Twice a day at most.

My daughter had terrible terrible dry eyes. Her opthamalogist recommended those thick gel type preservative free drops at night, plus she uses a weighted eyes mask to keep her lids firmly closed and absolutely no overhead fans.

Started working from home, office HVAC was horrible for my eyes.
