#dryeyes — Public Fediverse posts

Still using artificial tears every day but eyes still dry or irritated?

💧 Drops give quick relief—but they don’t fix the root cause if your dry eye is from inflammation.

That’s where cyclosporine eyedrops come in, such as Restasis , Cequa , or the newest one, Vevye. They control the inflammation.

Definitely not a "miracle", but rather promising findings. So if you suffer from any of the mentioned conditions - especially macular degeneration or diabetes - ask your ophthalmologist for advice if this could be an alternative or supportive treatment for you to do at home. Or ask for later update if any further research results are available.

Symptoms and signs of dry eye in US veterans with Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome

"Individuals who met criteria for ME/#CFS had more severe ocular surface pain, but similar signs of DE [dry eye], compared to controls. This suggests nerve, & not tear, abnormalities contribute to ocular surface pain in #MECFS"
