Concern about dry eye syndrome

Hello?

I am a man in my 30s suffering from dry eye syndrome.

But do you have some doubts about the treatment..? I shared it here.

​

During the daytime, I don't have significant symptoms of dry eyes. The discomfort was also minimal. It was most severe when I woke up from sleep. Now, it's a bit uncomfortable even during the day.ㅠ

​

It is said that he has a habit of sleeping with his eyes slightly open. Also, during the examination, it was noted that the issue is with the meibomian glands rather than the tear glands.

​

First, treatment

Artificial tears + antibiotics + IPL + squeezing + wiping the eyes

​

I received it a bit continuously, but the issue of dry eyes in the morning isn't really resolvedㅠ especially since I use certain artificial tears frequently, it feels even more dry and parched... (Kainex Tearin Free... I don't really know about Diquaz eitherㅠ)

​

I think this is somewhat similar to acne treatment, and there are actually some mild acne cases.

​

After being so sluggish and concerned about long-term antibiotic use (as soon as I stopped, my acne flared upㅠㅠ), I stopped the antibiotics, kept my eyes clean, occasionally received IPL treatments, and just squeezed my eyes once every couple of weeks.

​

That winter...

​

I underwent a procedure that caused a scratch on my conjunctiva and used strong antibiotics for a week along with TiraBid eye drops.

Oh no.. As soon as I use this medicine, my eyes stay moist all day until morning….

​

Then, in the morning, my dry eyes would come and go, but at some point, they completely disappeared, and I had a moist spring haha. I looked it up and found this.

There is an article suggesting that medication surprisingly has a positive effect on improving dry eye syndrome.

I could see it.

​

Anyway, I am currently sad again because it has recurred.

​

The existing treatment methods are actually quite

I don't think it worksㅠ

​

The more I spray artificial tears, the more I feel dryness worsening... So I'm a bit worried. I wonder if the reaction to the antibiotic I used after the procedure is related to an issue with the meibomian glands caused by a wound on the conjunctiva.

​

Indeed, in the future... how to improve this... The dryness only in the morning is due to dry mouth.

Is it a problem? However, the eye patch does not fully improve the morning dryness issue.

​

It seems like it's time to consider some treatment options.

​

Thank you for reading the lengthy message.

Stay healthy
