Hi Beth I had operation to debunk my acoustic neuroma 4 years ago ir has left me very bad dry eye which is very painful is there anything you could recommend

[Beth_TBTC Partner in reply to 6625]

Hi I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis and the complication of dry eyes that you have following your surgery. We are not medically trained so I am unable to make any specific recommendations as to what may work for you, however we would recommend speaking with your medical team or GP as there are various drops and gels that may be helpful, though you may need to try a few to find one that is most beneficial for you. Depending on the exact cause of why your eyes are becoming dry there may be other treatments available to you.

Hi Beth.

Hi Beth, I have a acoustic neuroma I was told my CT scan done in April showed that it had grown but in the last 8 weeks I have had headaches every day and every evening.

I eventually got/ to see my GP she says if it was another brain tumour she THINKS my CT scan would have shown it up. Do you think my ENT consultant would have picked that up ?
