Hello

I had lazik more than three years ago and experienced dry eyes for almost two years. The condition got much better for the past year and a half, and I only occasionally had to use the drops. However, the last 1-2 months I experience daily problems again and have to use drops and gel to alleviate the symptoms. Unfortunately none of them help much. I am trying to figure out why the condition improved and why it got worse again. One significant change in my life was that I was pregnant and breastfed the baby for four months after I gave birth. Would dry eyes improve under these circumstances? And does this mean that now I will continue to experience dry eyes as before? Finally, I live in the UK and went to several doctors to ask for help but none seems to be able to help me. So I am trying to help myself through the internet. I read about Dr Hoyle's APL-105 drops that they are very good, would you recommend them, and is it safe for me to use them without a doctor checking whether it is OK for my eyes?

thank you very much in advance. I look forward to hearing from you,

best wishes

i'm 1 year post Lasik. My eyes felt okay 4,5,6 and 7 months after Lasik and then got worse. I believe the same time as yours! i think it was to do with the cold weather in the UK because this makes the atmosphere very dry. Throughout Feb and March the heating etc can drop the humidity down by 20% easily. Also my work place was over heating the air in my office through a faulty air conditioning unit as my firm failed to pay for proper maintenance until i didn't stop complaining. Unfortunatley it took 6 months for them to agree to investigate it and for me this made me have to use a gel in my eye in order to keep it moist for 2 months. It was recommended to me by my Laser company- visotears- they failed however to tell me to use a preservative free gel so my eyes were getting worse and worse. I didn't know what to do, had horrible gritty dry eye. In the end have plugged my right eye and only accasionly use preservative free visotears, which are expensive but the only drops that have a lasting effect. I think your eyes are probably better now its summer???right?? if not don't over use drops as most don't help and get some plugs until your eyes heal. I think i'm going to be extra careful next winter. I have changed my job so i'm no longer working in a horrible air condiotioned office and I will keep this plug in for another year. Also will get a humidifier for my home for the winter. Goodluck hope your eyes improve.
