Desperate

I have had severe dry eye and blepharospasms since June 2008. I have been on Lotemax & Restasis for at least 6 mos. After I lubricate my eyes, why do they close? I need to work and how much longer until the blepharospasms go away? I have been to many doctors and stopped all medications I was taking over 2 mos. ago. The blepharitis is mild now.

Dear sarina1,
I would recommend that you follow up with your eyeMD to determine the cause and whether treatment has helped the blepharitis, dry eye and/or blepharospasm.
