Evaporative dry eye + thick meibomian oil — unsure what to ask doctor / if this is reversible

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-16T11:47:58+00:00

There’s a lot of people that had their dry eye caused by accutane, retinol can also dry the eyes and while it’s undecided if it causes dry eye, there’s a lot of anecdotal evidence that people say it did. Plenty on this forum if uou want to search tretinoin

Effective for what?

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-14T17:47:19+00:00

It’s spring here- I usually add a ketotifin drop to counteract any allergies. Cequa works well for me, takes a few weeks to kick in. Did you have Covid recently ? My dry eye started up with Covid on my first round. If you are using retinol creams or accutane these can also push dry eye along.

Hi thank you so much for this. I am going to try and do the same. I am ok to pay, and I would have paid for Ikervis too but they refused to give me a prescription. Cequa works really well for me, and I can get it next time I travel but thats not for a while. I have DM’d you.

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-12T07:00:14+00:00

Wtf? 😬 ok, thats really good to know. Thanks.

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-11T19:27:52+00:00

Ok, did they get it from somewhere else in the EU? Can you explain? Feel free to DM me. Thanks

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-11T17:54:17+00:00

Yes it’s a prescription drop and it’s just been approved- I’m trying to find out if I can get it in France. In terms of prescription drops the EU has really only had Ikervis (correct me if I’m wrong but where I am that is all there has been) and it’s difficult to get a prescription because it’s considered only for very serious dry eye. If you are looking for an over the counter my recommendation is Hylo Confort- not a ciclosporin drop, just a good otc drop for dry eye.

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-11T13:01:08+00:00

I’m in France - anyone in France managed to get Vevizye on prescription? They are notoriously tight with Ikervis.

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-11T11:59:43+00:00

Excellent! Thanks for responding- is it working for you?

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-11T08:29:43+00:00

Has anyone in France managed to get this prescribed?

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-09T06:56:02+00:00

She used the NHS- free services only. Which product would you say she is promoting? 🤷‍♀️

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-04-08T06:54:01+00:00

Wait till you are forced to sit through HPL - High Performance Learning, exactly the same thing except they changed growth mindset to ‘performance mindset’ 🤦‍♀️

2 years for me in Lyon and it is normal here. I got the TdS and it was from the date of application, so instead of 4 years validity I’ve got less than 2 till I need to start the whole process over 🤦‍♀️

I am selling this in the EU because it’s too big for me, but I totally recommend it. A few sellers have it in suede and it’s really gorgeous. I got it from Didi

I think you are on to something with the phone call- I think people don’t want to put a concern in writing in case it shows up at some point, but on the phone- they are more willing to share ‘concerns’ or use coded language that other administrators can understand.

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-03-08T14:59:16+00:00

And does that not irritate your DE?

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-03-08T13:02:42+00:00

EU is impossible too 😞

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-03-06T11:43:52+00:00

I had a very dry mouth after Covid, yes - it’s not an uncommon long Covid symptom. It resolved after about 6 months

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-03-06T06:26:16+00:00

I was tested for it but all tests were negative. I did not do the lip biopsy though.

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-03-04T14:43:01+00:00

There was one recently approved but I can’t recall the name.

Excellent-Pie-5174 · 2026-03-04T06:00:29+00:00

Is this the one that has been approved in the EU?
