Question for dry eyes..please help?

i have EXTREMELY dry eyes and have had them for years...does any know how to get rid of them for good or to at least help them alot

Dry eye can occur for many different reasons. First, I would not use Clear Eyes--this product is primary to reduce hyperemia (red eyes) & very often can make dry eye symptoms much worse. Here is what I would suggest:
1) Use an artificial tear 3 to 4 times per day (whether your eyes are dry or not...if your eyes feel dry this will help & if they do not dry feel, this will help prevent the dry eye feeling). I suggest Systane.
2) Take a wash cloth and run it under hot water, and hold it against your closed eyes (as hot as you can tolerate). Along the margin of our eye lids are oil glands (meibomian glands). They secrete oil that helps stabilize our tear film. An unstable tear film is the number 1 cause of dry eye. Warm compresses will help stabilize your tear film by getting more oil to come out of the meibomian glands. Do this 2 times per day.
3) Take omega 3 fatty acids (found in the vitamin section): 1000mg per day. This can take up to a month to kick in, but helps a lot by making the oils secreted by your meibomian glands more regular.

4) Also purchase an ophthalmic lubricating ointment. This will blur your vision, so use it every night before you go to bed.

Try this for at least 2 months. If no improvement, go to your optometrist & ask for a complete dry eye workup.

Stick your head in the bath tub.
Clear Eyes is awesome...
ask your doctor..they have perscriptions for stuff like that
Optrex do a revitalising and moisturising eye drop treatment.
You can buy drops from the chemist - but your gp should have sorted you out by now.
