I have been troubled in exactly the same way as Daphne, and told that I was over compensating with the tears. I do use the eye drops, but my eyes feel very sore and gritty, especially when I wake up. It's strange that you're told you have dry eyes, when infact they are forever wet, and watery. Can anything be done surgically to prevent this.

I suffer from photopsia and my Optical Specialist at the local hospital in Spain where I spend most of my time has told me to take 10mg Lutein daily. I would be pleased to have your opinion. Thank you. How lovely to see a no nonsense article and so clearly told.

I then started getting terrible eye irritation and I wouldn't be able to open my eyes in the morning. It felt like there was constantly something in them. They were burning and itchy. My vision was blurred at times as well and it would be fine one minute and blurred the next, so was terrible if driving etc. Apart from the feeling of something being in my eyes, the next worst thing is that I often find it hard to keep them shut. I constantly blink very quickly. I have seen my dr and had an eye test and was given drops and an ointment, but I can't apply them. I have a phobia of things coming near my eyes. I know I definitely have had one eye infection. The article was great, as Mark Bowdens' always are.

But my problem was two continually running eyes whenever I went out. I was told this was beacuse my eyes were over-compensating with tears. I stopped using the drops as they did not make any difference. My nose is also running with water most of the day. Anyone have any solutions? I was diagnosed with Dry Eye a few years ago.

I'm also facing problem of dry eye because of using computer for 8 or more hours. I've started using Bausch & Lomb Soflenses last week. Want to know if I can use eye lubricator while wearing lenses. Thanks. Thanks for such detailed information. I’m also facing problem of dry eye because of using computer for 8 or more hours. I’ve started using Bausch & Lomb Soflenses last week.
