This has been going on for some time .I can't seem to get this under control. I've had a puntal plug placed in my left eye ( which is the worst of the two), been on Restaisis twice a day for awhile, have tried numerous dry eye drops ,which actually make them worse! I take flax oil in the morning, have used a sodium ointment at bedtime, have tried a sleep mask, and was tested for Sjrogen's Syndrome. My Opthamologist seems to think my condition is bilateral basement membrane dystropy and also wants me to go for a sleep study to see if I have sleep apnea ( which is related to your eyes not completely closing when sleeping ). I take a few different presciptions, some of which I'm trying to taper, and woner if this is contrbuting to the problem?
anyone out there who can help?
