Not relieved by conventional eye drops, even the extra lubricating ones designed for post surgical use.
I've been using yellow soft paraffin ointment for two days now and it's definitely helping, but I've read that it can block the oil secreting glands in the eyelids.
Can anyone recommend anything? I have been doing warm compresses, massage and washing the eyelids, but the eye still dries out. I have a feeling I'm not secreting much natural oil and all the eye drops are immediately evaporating.
I've had this problem for over 20 years now.
