Hi~
Last year I had pinkeye for almost three months straight (they think I have blepharitis). Every time I thought it was going away it would come back with a vengeance. After it finally cleared up, my eyes stopped producing their own tears. They were so dry in the morning and night (especially in the morning) I would have to pry them open with my fingers. I'm still having major problems, but one thing that has helped A LOT was going on Restasis. Be wary though... my doc also told me to take some drops that had an antihistamine it it. It counteracted what the Restasis was supposed to do and left me worse off than before. You don't realize how wonderful tears are until they're gone. : (
Good luck!
Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely look into that. :)
