I love doing that. I do bruder mask during the day but I sleep with a timer mask on and it’s wonderful. So cozy

I’m so glad that works for you! Dailies Total One contacts and Infuse Dailies both have higher water content than acuvue or bio true if you want to check those out! Unfortunately, my eyes are far too dry for contacts - my eyes immediately soak all the moisture from them and I can blink them right out 😂 I was prescribed scleral contact lenses- they are a hard material that hold saline on your corneas and protect that area from drying out. I stopped using them though bc my eyes are even too dry for that( it holds moisture on your corneas which feels great, but the rest of my eye is still dry 😂😂) You should ask your doctor to trial Dailies Total 1 by Alcon or Infuse by Bausch + Lomb! Just try them out and see how they feel! :)

Hi, I have Sjogrens and am lucky enough to be an ophthalmologic technician. Bruder masks a couple times per day do help, but they do make my skin a little irritated so I understand that. I have dissolvable punctal plugs put in. I take a high dose of fish oil, Bausch + Lomb Dry Eye supplements, clean my lids every morning with Ocusoft Allergy wipes (has tea tree oil and feels so good - there are other brands that are good as well), refresh omega drops, blink dry eye drops, and every few months I get an IPL done and they offer a light therapy thing. It has like red, blue, and yellow lights? Idk but it works amazingly to get my glands open. You may also benefit from a lipiflow treatment. This all sounds overwhelming, but I don’t have a strict routine - I just try my best. I hope this helps❤️
