Dry sore eye night ointment

[Eloisedublin123]

Please recommend me your most effective ointment for night! Feel I’ve tried them all😳 TIA!

Also I second the MGD eye bag

@Jackie2022 I've just been prescribed this for my sjorgens syndrome, hoping it gives some relief!

@MichelleScarn you certainly will! It’s fabulous. Every medical professional I have discussed my dry eyes with has recommended it!

Current highlight of my life Jackie something new for my eyes! have been getting awful aura migraines due to them so hope this helps!

Sea buckthorn capsules can help, and I use the kao steam eye masks from Amazon too

Haha how did you find it last night??

I can also recommend a product called VisuXL. It's fairly pricey but helps restore the tear film over time.

@Eloisedublin123: Yes, that dose of Omega 3 is around the same as I take. It's about 1400-1500 mg a day. I think the one I have is also combined with 12mg of Vitamin E too.

Thanks for all the help peeps x

Hi, another item to try is hyaluronic acid in tablet format. USA dry eye doctors have found it supports the body to create tear film. Imbalanced hormones also may be an underlying root cause. I believe working in an air con office for 20 years didn't help. I had to stop wearing contact lenses as my left eye felt bruised and as if someone punched it severely. Opthalmologist recommended hot pack as meiobiam glands were blocked.
Tea tree lid scrub wipes, including using a cotton bud around the water line upper and lower lashes, hycosan ultra as many times as required to obtain relief and other carbon gels. After a year has become more manageable but truly noticing a big difference when taking 300mg hyaluronic acid twice a day. Sometimes also drinking rehydration drinks especially if on a long haul flight or even just at home helps a lot too.
A keep cool sports cloth is another tip for when dryness feels all hot, can place on the eyes to help headaches

I suffer from recurrent corneal erosions and have to really watch that my eyes don’t dry out to avoid trouble with them.
My routine is to use a heat mask on my eyes in the morning, Visidic drops during the day mask again at bedtime and then apply HyloNight (was VitaPos) gel at night. If I skip the mask the drops clog up my eyelids and create other problems.
I can wear moisturiser on my face but keep it away from my eyes. I haven’t found a foundation that doesn’t creep into my eyes and irritate them.

I have developed a severely dry left eye with blocked glands. The drops and gel optician has given me are not doing a lot (Thealoz). Have just bought the heat pad and am waiting for an appointment with corneal specialist. Did any of you have severely blurred vision all the time which isn't improved by drops/gel?

@ScarletORyan hi, last month my eyes suddenly became very dry to the extent that my vision was blurring and blinking alone wasn’t enough to completely clear it. I was struggling to read from a distance and optician wondered if I needed glasses!

He said I had Meibomian gland dysfunction and he also asked if I had used any new products n the area. Turns out a new eye cream triggered the sudden worsening of my dry eye condition. Ceasing use of that took my sight back to normal.

He also recommended the eye mask, night ointment, ceasing screen usage, less makeup, good sleeping habits etc

Thanks. I'm not using a new eye cream. I definitely could get more sleep and probably use screens too much. Will use the gel and drops, and the eye pads. My vision is so bad in that eye though, I'm wondering if my eye is becoming lazy

Xailin night. Had epithelium removed a few years ago due to a condition made worse by dry eye. It grew back but is the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced and hopefully will never need again.

Thealoz Duo gel, from the Dr. Brilliant stuff

@ScarletORyan worst case scenario, ask your GP for a dry eye clinic referral (ophthalmology) as X treatments haven’t helped and your vision is worsening. Hospitals have a few different things they can try out such as punctal plugs or even surgery if necessary

Thank you - referral is in progress to ophthalmology. Just really hoping my right eye doesn't get so bad as then I couldn't see to drive or work!

Mind yourself Susan. Your balance and depth perception can be affected also when your eyes are a bit wonky so take it easy up and down steps etc until you are seen by the specialists.

Sorry not Susan, Scarlett!

Thank you I will 😊
