Itchy, dry eyes!!!!!!

[lynzard]

Morning to y'all!

Does anyone else get sore, dry, itchy eyes? Just making myself an eyebright tincture. Driving me crazy. Test for sjorgen's few months back came back clear. Maybe I need another. Mouth not all that dry tho.

Hope today will be a good one for everybody. Thanks

Morning Itchy dry eyes goes with the territory I am afraid. So it is good to keep a gentle eyewash hand to use in the mornings/ evenings.

I have times when they are very itchy most annoying. Boots have a eyewash that is good. It is strange, I was just thinking about it and I am a person who tends to cry a lot. Well I get emotional at the tele and today I wept at the movie of the two old elephants being reunited after 25 years (they recognized each other after all that time) it was lovely they leant against each other - if you see it sometime watch it - So I am sloppy but still I can have dry eyes!

Take care

Morning Gins, How are you feeling today? Thanks so much for your reply. Very helpful. Didn't realise the lovely fibro also affected eyes like that. Little devil! Just going to try the eyebright. Would you be able to let me have name of the the eyewash from Boots please.

Elephants are the most amazing animals aren't they and yes even with my dry eyes I would have wept too!

Thanks again. xxx

Yes I've got dry eyes and fibro, went to my eye test at opticians last year and she said that my dry eyes are caused bt fibro and then checked them and found I have early stages of glaucoma . I'm waiting for my next app this year to see how my eyes are doing and at what rate the glaucoma is going. I use boots own brand of eye wash as it gets expensive over time £ 5.99 for a decent size bottle. Last me a few months as I use it every night befor bed and so e mornings . Good luck xxxx
