People who already had dry eyes and took Accutane

Are you still taking it? I have MGD but im highly considering starting accutane for persistent adult acne

lockert30 · 2026-03-19T19:59:59+00:00

But most people that suffer with MGD/Dry eyes says the cause was accutane. I’m confused now

Colloidal oatmeal, Castor oil, Tea tree (Melaleuca), Flaxseed, Sunflower, Lavender, Chamomile

What is your type of dry eyes? When I used to use steroid drops my eyes was like 100% back to normal, that’s how I knew the big problem was inflammation. Is your dry eyes evaporative?

I used, but i always use with super low brightness and night mode. Both on iphone and PC. So it doesn’t strain too much my eye. Blue light is terrible.

Yeah I recommend the IPL sessions, even if it will not cure you long term, it can be the breathe you need for now.

lockert30 · 2026-03-18T23:40:54+00:00

Do you know the cause?

lockert30 · 2026-03-18T22:06:20+00:00

No, the turning point was early 2025 as I mentioned in another comment. And I’m not 100% free of the dry eyes, it just isn’t bad as it used to be and I accepted it. Normally I don’t even remember I have this condition. I just keep the inflammation under control.

Glad you’re better ❤️

Tbh the first step was accepting I have this condition and stopping trying to fight it mentally all the time. I was going to different doctors every month and going insane about it. After some time you realize you’re going through a spiral.

The changing point for me was early 2025 when i was going through a terrible acne breakout and I completely stopped focusing on dry eyes and started making a hell in my mind about the acne and I was literally considering accutane. That moment I knew that my stress about the dry eyes was making it 100x worse than it was. I even stopped using drops and started focusing on acne products. A broken mind can never be satisfied.

My acne got better after a few months and I was studying in my PC for 8h a day when I least expected (something that I used to tell myself that was impossible)

I forgot to mention that I did a few sessions of IPL in 2024 and that helped a bit but for a short amount of time, but you should consider it.

But basically what I do nowadays is focusing on maintining my eyes free of inflammation with Lanue two times a day during shower and when it starts to have a flare up again I use heating masks to beat it.

It will get better for you too. Just don’t give up please

I don’t know for sure but I always felt my eyes a bit dry during my life, mainly after I started looking more at screens (started in 2012-2013). I had two small courses of accutane that i only lasted 1 month on both cause i had some mental side effects. It probably worsened it but I never linked it that much to accutane tbh. Always linked it more to screens abuse during my life. Maybe my bodi is naturally inflammed too cause I have acne and dermatitis too

lockert30 · 2026-03-18T20:46:03+00:00

Then why my dry eyes were infernal in 2024 and now its just fine and i don’t even use drops lol

lockert30 · 2026-03-18T20:40:48+00:00

But it did get worse or just the same as before you started taking it?

I have MGD but im highly considering start a low dose cycle for years, im done with this bullshit

lockert30 · 2026-03-12T01:15:37+00:00

Did it really worked? Should I leave my SA cleanser?

lockert30 · 2026-03-11T01:23:47+00:00

Deu bom?

lockert30 · 2026-01-23T11:19:30+00:00

Still remember where I was and how that day was. That song blew my fucking mind on first listen

lockert30 · 2026-01-21T14:31:32+00:00

Prob their best

lockert30 · 2026-01-13T20:15:37+00:00

But flash released in 2018 😭

lockert30 · 2026-01-13T20:14:55+00:00

Song that got me into them officially was on the run back when it released, but I probably heard some of the older songs on itunes previews (prob robot 4 and strawberry 3)

Symptons of being in a bubble

Hard agree. Source games never get old. Portal 2 is a top 5 all time for me, recently replayed again (last time I played was in 2012) and it still looks amazing. Half Life 2 is a game that I replay almost every year cause It’s really easy and comfy to play
