How to cure year around dry eyes,year around eye irritation eye?(I have allergy problem too)? You should discuss your problem with your eye doctor. But here are some of your options: Gels are great to use at night or first thing in the morning before you get in the shower or sometime that seeing crystal clear is not a priority. Systane recently made a more viscous drop - more similar to a gel but one that does not cause such blurry vision. I tried it and really liked it. One option we have been told that seems to really help patients is flushing the eye out with the drop. I sometimes suffer from dry eye and this seemed to provide the most relief. You basically just drench the eye with the drops and it really seemed to help me. Have you tried taking omega-3 pills or any supplements with omega-3? This can help thicken the lipid layer of the eye - which prevents your tears from drying so quickly. Have you discussed punctal plugs with your doctor? These prevent your tears from draining as fast and the doctor can do a trial for about a week that will disinegrate on their own to see if this is a helpful option. If they work they will insert permanent plugs. Antihistamines (oral) do not usually help ocular allergies much and actually cause dry eye so I would NOT recommend those. Your eye doctor can prescribe allergy drops to use that can really help relieve allergy eyes. Keep an eye out - they are always trying to come up with new treatments for dry eye! Good luck! Source(s): in optometry school Restasis and good preservative free drops. (Thera tears is the brand that comes to mind, but there is another good one that the tip can be reapplied to the little capsule.) You need to "super hydrate" your eyes a minimum of morning and night. You simply drop the drops in and close your eyes for a minimum of 2 minutes so they can be absorbed. See your eye doctor and they will prescribe drops. There's some great new drops on the market. the best bet is to talk to your doctor or eye doctor..most likely they'll start by suggesting some lubricating eyedrops (such as genteal), and if this doesn't work - there is now a prescription medication (restasis) that can help with chronic dry eye. If they feel it's allergy related (and be sure to mention that to the doc) they can put you on oral antihistamines (such as Claritin or Allegra) and/or antihistamine eye drops if that is what the situation calls for. between now and talking to your doctor, you can try any of the over the counter lubricating eyedrops (like I mentioned above, Genteal is a good one - expecially the gel formula). you use them as often as necessary and they are safe for your eyes. nursing I suffer with both as well.. and diabetes. I finally went on fexofenadine - generic brand of Allegra. I also wear sunglasses whenever I'm outside.. It helps! <smiles> Speak with your doctor about this.. make sure s/he understands the situation. Not all listen as they should <winks>. |
