Dry eye

Coeliac disease but initially diagnosed with lupus. Lupus much more controlled now with diet.

Many problem dry eye- initially cured with omega 3 supplements but not working for 2 years now. Drops ineffective.

Also have dry skin, previous infertility and miscarriages. Could it be vitamin a deficiency? Anyone tried vitamin a for this?

Thanks

I have had one very dry eye for several years way before I had my CD diagnosis. My GP prescribes Hylo Forte drops and these do relieve it. I also had Viscose Tears but they made my eyes blurry for too long where as Hylo Forte is much easier and quicker for relief

Hi Asarahjohnson there is an association with coeliac disease and blepharitis here's a link about blepharitis: nhs.uk/conditions/blepharitis/

I was using an eye wash and eye drops and my GP told me that I was exacerbating it as my eye weren't producing enough tears...
