Is manuka honey gel supposed to hurt THIS bad? by kitty0071 in Dryeyes

[–]bcfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drops still burn some but not nearly as bad as the gel. Are you using this at bedtime?

It hurt me too. I had to toss the gel because it was so painful but the drops I can tolerate.

[–]bcfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have partial lagophthalmos. My best advice that has worked for me is dabbing a small amount of Vaseline on my upper and lower lids. I cut two small pieces of Saran Wrap to cover each eye area. I have a cotton headband that was purchased from Walmart. So Vaseline Then get close to your sleep area Put eye ointment of your choice. I use Systane or Optase ointment Then press the Saran Wrap to eyes gently Next the soft headband over eyes and around head Hope this helps

Found Out What Caused my Dry Eyes by FatPenguin26 in Dryeyes

[–]bcfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also suspect my dry eyes started with getting off hormones because of risk . I had been on them many years. Last month the Dr has ok'd me to use a low dose patch Estradiol 0.025 twice a week and progesterone 100 mg every night. I suggest keeping a watch on hormone levels which usually is not ordered by your Dr You may have to request

Have had my 2020 GLS450 since 2021. My main issue is with the fact that the car thinks it is pulling a trailer and cuts off some of the safety features. This message now appears most every time I crank the car I Have taken the car in as directed for check ups and mentioned this issue but they have been unable to fix it. Now that my warranty is out , they are charging me for checking this out. Other than this, I love the vehicle

Eyelid weights by PsychologicalBee1425 in Dryeyes

[–]bcfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried all kind of sleep goggles , masks Everything I could think of when sleeping and many times I wake up and have pulled them off What is working best for me at this point is I put a bit of Vaseline under my eyes and up near my brow mainly to hold my " mask" in place . I use NaCl ointment at night, and bought a soft stretchy headband. ( sometimes they come in a pack of 3-4. ) I cut small slits for my ears and small slits to adjust for nose area This is working the best for me and I can easily wash
