Dry Eyes and Mouth

[Zeberdee]

Hubby in advanced stages of PSP and has been prescribed Hypromellose for eyes and Glandosane for mouth. Does anyone have experience of these items working. Thanks. Jx

Sorry, I don't know these things, but I did get for him a prescription for special lubricating eyedrops - maybe with prednisone? - and my guy often asked for Biotene mouthwash when his medicine was making his mouth too dry. Fish oil capsules, swallowed, are truly very good for dry eye as well. I use them myself sometimes. The dryness can be very uncomfortable. I hope the treatments work for your husband. Best wishes, Ec

Many thanks Ec will definitely try Fish Oil capsules. Have noted this in my journal. J

My mum has been using the eye ones for a while and they have really helped with the dry red eyes. She also uses a warm damp face cloth over them after

Many thanks good to know that something may work in this maze of problems. I do bathe the eyes with a mild solution of baby shampoo as advised by the OT but doesn't always work.
