Fluorescent Lighting & Watery Eyes

[janedoe1969]

Hi.  I have posted several questions regarding my dry eyes but think I realize what really is irritating them the most.  It's the fluorescent lighting at work.  My eyes seem fine in the morning then around 1:00, at the SAME TIME every day, my eyes get real watery & hurt.   I don't work on the computer at work but do get on quite a bit a home.  That also aggravates my eyes.  This all came out of the blue 2 months ago.  I have been fine up until then which is puzzling.. I never went to see an ophthamologist but just saw my optometrist, who only used the dye drops in my eyes and did no other tests.  She did find dry spots on my eyes.  I have been on Restasis for 2 weeks..  WILL the Restasis help with the sensitivity to the lighting and computers?   I have heard of Melanin tint glasses.  Do those help or will the Restasis "eventually" take care of this?   Thank you.

You have not really had a medical eye exam. Just a non-physician, non-MD optometric exam.

My advise would be to see a Eye MD perhaps one that specializes in corneal disease.

I have never heard of that tint.

Don't rely on restasis. See the Eye MD you can also find one at www.aao.org
