Dry Eye

Not liver related, i don't think, but has anyone had really bad dry eye? If so has anyone found a great way to treat it, successfully? Have prescription drops helped anyone? Thanks

Dry eye and Dry mouth is liver related. So hard to keep under control. They just told me to take Dry eye drops. My mouth I have water by my bed all night and sip a little when I wake up but not to much or I have to get up again... One endless circle.

Another symptom I didn’t realize was liver related. By itself not too uncommon, but when paired with all the others it starts to make sense. Then it all comes together like a jigsaw puzzle.

I have NASH and my eyes are extremely dry.

I use prescription Restasis eye drops , but have recently tried Refresh Gel Drops at night. My optometrist thinks I have improved greatly since I started using it.

I use refresh optive it's preservative free. I have not tried the gel, I was afraid it would make my sight blurry during the day even if used at night. My sight gets blurry anyway since the eyes are dry except shorty after drops. I tried prescription but my copay was pretty high and at the time I thought too expensive for not much difference than OTC. Then I had eye and brow lift because the lid was also affecting my sight. This surgery made the dry eye worse as I was told it would but I thought it would at least go back to normal dry eye in time. The Optamologist later said it may or may not, so now my eyes are somewhat better a month from surgery but still very dry. We will see what time brings, I may have to pay the large copay, thank you.
