HI,
I had lasik two years ago. I did not have dry eyes before lasik. Since then, I have had such severe dry eye that i can not even open my eyes in the morning. When I do with the help of one ofthe many lubricants and drops i have been prescribed they are all red, literally no white whatsoever. I use drops throughout the day and gels at night. I am currently on restasis, but have been on that before with no luck. They wantto try it again. I have had blood tests to rule out problems. I also have tried the flaxseed oil and vitamin e , no luck. Any suggestions?
Colleen

i would use preservative free visotears and get your tear ducts plugged. Your eyes need to be kep moist in order to heal. AALso u could try taping your eyes at night with gentle masking tape
