Dry Eyes

[Ang0485]

Hi-

I got diagnosed with MGD and dry eyes beginning of February of this year. I have tried so many eye drops and a lot of them irritate my eyes. Right now I use refresh celluvisc but I fell like that is irritating my inner lids even more. My main concern is the burning inside my lids where the red lining touches your eyes. Not the outside of my eyes but the inside of my lids. I feel like any drop just irritates them and they burn all the time. Does anyone else have constant burning in their lids from dry eyes?

Thanks!

Yes that is a common symptom. Use the search feature and archives and read the many helpful posts about dry eyes. Go to Dr. Hagan's home page and read the Journal Posting on treatment of dry eyes.  As I have said many time both my wife and I have dry eyes and have been on Restasis for several years with excellent results. WIth MGD it's important to keep the eye lids free of oil and debris (*called scruff). Try Ocusoft Plus PLATINUM  it's over the counter. New product may need to order on Internet.  Preservative free artificial tears would be a good choice for you.
