Post-LASIK dryness

[mtg1310]

Hi

I am 31 years old, male. I had LASIK operation two years ago. First year, very mild and rare eye dryness, was not really a problem. Second year was a mess and it later turned out to be vernal conjunctivitis. Incompetent doctors could not find it in the beginning. I used Optanol drops and relief came after the first few days. Used it for 3 months as doctor prescribed.
However, eye dryness still continue (2 years after LASIK now), especially with PC-phone usage. It is mild though, do not need using drops some days at all. Some days are really bad though. Visited the doctor who operated my eyes and he told me that I may use Restasis. What do you recommend?

Hello,
I had dry eyes for many years, I have tried many different eye drops prescription and over the counter.  but nothing helped.--
Then I found Castor Oil. Cold Expressed Castor Oil is very inexpensive,
I bought mine on line.  you either use an eye dropper and apply 1 or 2 drops to each eye at night, or you could apply it on to both upper and lower eyelids on top of the lashes, I use a clean finger. It has given me the relief I needed so that's what I have been using since. Such a simple cure.  This is actually a remedy from Edgar Cayce's on You tube. Edgar Cayce was a psychic healer. There are also several people that mentioned Cold Expressed Castor Oil helped their dry eyes  from the Earth Clinic website. It also will diminish Eye Bags.
Good Luck, wish you well.
