I crawled on my hands and knees to the end of the dry eye hell tunnel
Hoping not to jinx myself, but it's been five years, so here goes.
I was on this website for two years starting in 2016, suffering in what seemed like endless dry eye hell tunnel. I woke up every two hours from pain, wore moisture chamber glasses that looked like goggles, tried my best...

Advice please! Eyelid swollen for nearly 1 YEAR!
Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and in pretty desperate need of some advice. I'm at my wits' end after having a red, swollen eyelid for almost a full year. I've tried various treatments with minimal success and honestly don't even know what to do next.

Diagnostics
Hello,
Recently diagnosed based on symptoms and fluorescein stain (no ulcers thankfully). After home care failed, I was put on Xiidra and have had minimal improvement over the last month. I'm doing a lot of OTC care as well. Wondering if you think more advanced eye diagnostics are worth...

In Need of Ultra mild lid cleanser for extremely sensitive dry eyes
Hello,

Dry Eyes/MGD
Hi, I've had MGD dry eyes for so long now. Started when i was around 24, and am now 62. Tested negative for Sjorgrens. The only think i can find it that i used Retin-A for about a year before the dryness started and it never went away. I had the lower ducts closed permanently and tried restasis and...
I’m Back
Hi Everyone
I have to make this short cause my toddler (yes! I had a baby) is trying to get my phone. First off, I’d like to apologize to you all for being one of those people who didn’t update when I went into remission for five years. I feel so bad about that. It’s...

Mites and MGD
I have had MGD for 25 years, since the age of 22. If it was caused by mites (a different type of mite than dust mites - is it called Demodex mites?), would my ophthalmologist (who is a dry eye expert) have diagnosed this already? I am considering using tea tree oil foam wash and/or wipes, which I understand...
