Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 Greetings! I had not thought about that possibility. But yes, it is very possible I also do not blink as frequently. I may look into this. Not much that can be done, with the possible exception of using artificial tears to help some. Regards, =jbf= B.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Jim, You mention: > ... [Peg's eye doctor] recommended the use of regular scotch > tape to help pull the eyelid shut all the way. I have one word to say about that idea: YeeeUCK! Probably due to poor vision, I hate getting anything close to my eyes. This would be a no starter for me. Oh well, hopefully that idea will help others. After all not everyone has to administer their own eye drops when at their eye doctor! Regards, =jbf= B. Fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I have been having problems with my eyes again. It feels like something is always in them and it seems that things are a bit cloudy. I am off my prednisone and I usually have eye problems but the cloudiness and irritation is driving me nuts. Does anyone have any suggestions? Shauna in Alt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Shauna, This sounds like dry eyes along with a possible flare of iritis. Often times with iritis--inflammation of the iris-- your eyes will feel gritty. In the early stages, you may not even have the photophobia-- light sensitivity. I suggest you get in and see the Ophthalmologist-MD. DO NOT GO TO AN OPTOMETRIST--OD. The challenge is that OD's see and do alot of refractions-- the part that flips the lenses for a new prescription. They do not see much in the way of iritis or uveitis. So they may miss the white cells floating in the vitreous fluid behind the pupil of the eye. This is so important to catch, because even a cell or two is significant to get treatment started with PredForte Drops, so that it doesn't get a hold and end up with glaucoma. Take care, and use those drops. Tracie NS Co-owner/moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
