Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have Sjogren's and the dry eyes. Lately I've been having more trouble with blurriness and some crustiness when I wake up and increased in the evening. I'm having trouble reading and it's frustrating. Restasis does not work. The natural tears works for a short time. I tried different types of fish oil capsules and that increases the yuck in the eyes. Does anyone have any anwsers? Thanks as always!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi did you check with your eye doc.. i had major issues with this, last year cataract surgery.. L eye mild glaucoma at this time. with the eye drops i need to use preservative free and every 2 hrs, also he had found the bacitracin ointment for the eyes at bedtime when having more problems was effective. My autoimmune antibodies have also decided to hit my eyes at times so my doc decided restasis was not for me and went simple and appears to be effective. Some days worse then others. but it is frustrating... patti friend hang in there.
