I was diagnosed with meibomian gland dysfunction.. would restassis help that? AZASITE, lotemax( steroid drop), scrubbing the lids and compresses have failed to bring me any sort of releief. also menopasual at ago 40 and on HRT.

Ivonne S says:

i went to an opthalmologist and she put a thin paper under the lower flap of my eyelid (she said the dry eye test), but the thing is that the dry part of my eyes isnt the lower part, but the upper part of my eyes, she said my eyes arent dry altho i can barely see my upper part of eyes are like super MATTE, no water, and it feels like my upper flap of lid are having a kindof friction with my eyes everytime i blink. duh

Ivonne S says:

this is frustrating im only 18 and i hate glasses, i cant use contact lenses bcos my eyes will get really really dry after only 1 hour using em, there was one time where i couldnt take off my lenses bcos they stuck to my eyes bcos they were too dry.
the lower part of my eyes arent dry, but the top part of my eyes are, i can even see my eyes are like super 'matte' or theres no water on some part of my eyes, theyre like dry patches.

chickachicka54 says:
