Permanent Issues after ZYLET use

[br350]

I was given ZYLET to use for 10 days because I was having a feeling of grittiness feeling in my eyes (worse in one than the other).  Upon using it, my eyes never looked or felt better BUT, within less than a week after STOPPING these drops my eyes were bloodshot (veins obvious) and the inside of the lower lids were very red.   It has persisted and I am 6 weeks out from having stopped the drops.  Is this is a possible side effect/reaction from ZYLET?  My eyes were not bloodshot and red (inner lid) anywhere near like this BEFORE the drops - they were just irritated and scratchy.  My eye doctor thinks I might have dry eye.   I am more curious to know if ZYLET use could have caused a long term rebound of sorts.

Thank you for directing me to the dry eye info.  It is info I have read before but a good reminder.  I think dry eye has become a catch all for a lot of eye irritation problems and since so many people's experience with 'dry eye' are different, it's easy to attribute a host of reactions or other symptoms to 'dry eye'.
