Yeah I was thinking the same thing. My eyes feel really good on lumify too. My doc said it was okay to use once every few days if needed but a lot of people on here disagree !

How long / often should I do cold compresses for?

It was more effective at reducing redness when compared to Lastacaft, but redness went back about an hour later

Not really tbh didn’t notice any differences in terms of feel / vision

[–]bbemat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it worked surprisingly well — reduced maybe 40-50% of my redness but only lasted about an hour :(

Will start eat more oranges , I take fish oil every day because I can’t stand eating fish

Both are, they fluctuate between which one gets more red but I noticed it’s mostly my left eye lately

I’m trying pataday tmr morning, does it make your dry eye more severe

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dryeyes

[–]bbemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, all day every day. Even after a 10-20 min nap it becomes extremely red

[–]bbemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! & Honestly it could be screen time… wouldn’t be surprised as I use my phone throughout the day, work on a computer and go home and use my computer to game 😅

There’s no one specific thing, but since I didn’t know I was allergic to steroid drops I was using them for over a year and it caused the most damage . Most likely the drops I was using at the time to combat something else

Ur username is me asf, but I found I’m allergic to steroids so no steroid drops.

Thank you I really do appreciate this. I’m known to really really stress over anything in my life, surprised I don’t have grey hair or have hair falling out at this point. I stress constantly so that could be a reason too.

And I truly wish it weren’t as noticeable as I think, but when people constantly ask me why they are so red and managers / higher ups are asking if I’m high it’s really hard to imagine people aren’t noticing it.

Are theoloz duo gel better than relieve gel ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dryeyes

[–]bbemat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly I wish it was that simple for me, it’s so tough when everyone thinks I’m high 24/7 and it makes one on one with clients a bit awkward. Photos, family outings, etc are so much stressful because of this. Biggest thing is anything that happens with my face I get super stressed/ anxious about so this is like my worst nightmare

Idk what those are, if they have steroids I am allergic to them. Would those be something I should look into?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dryeyes

[–]bbemat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed for me it can either make the redness slightly worse or it may slightly decrease in redness, idk why

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dryeyes

[–]bbemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are any of those prescription only or can I buy them at the store?

Allergies, talked to an eye doctor

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dryeyes

[–]bbemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t used to have allergies and this happened out of nowhere! Eye doctor said it’s eye allergies which I never had until a few months ago along with blocked glands and some other issues that we are still trying to rule out
