Dry eye advice

Your GP should be able to prescribe you some decent eye drops that well help. Nasty thing to have to deal with, hope it gets sorted.

Sorry - just seen that you have been to the Drs, you need to persevere. My mother had a problem with dry eyes and she had prescription eye drops (looked like cement, but did the trick!)

My H suffers from this too and can no longer wear lenses either. The consultant that he went to see was trying to convince him that he looked really good in glasses but he didn't buy it!

He has giant papillary conjunctivitis and the only advice he was given was to use Opticrom eyedrops, to get a humidifier for our bedroom (which we never have) and to rub water onto his eyelids before he opened his eyes! He is convinced that his GPC is caused by our cat and it does tie in with when he moved in with me but he's never been allergy tested.

He hates wearing glasses to so I can sympathise with your situation. What does having your eyes plugged mean? That sounds scary!

Ooh, I've never heard of that. Good luck - I hope that you can get somewhere with the doctor or optician. If you do find a solution, please come tell me!!

I ended up going to A&E and being sent to out local eye hospital when my eye became swollen.

I was diagnosed with severe dry eye syndrome and now have to use eye drop 4 times a day for life. I was prescribed Hylo-Forte eye drops.
