Dry eyes.

[bearman]

Does any one have immunosuppressant eye drops for dry eyes and if so do they work? I have had an uncomfortable eye for several years which I am assured is dry eyes. I get told always, it's dry eyes, put drops in.

I have tried practically all over the counter drops, plus endless flavour of the month from ophthalmologists. Not a single one has ever given me any relief even though I always use them for at least a month, usually more.

I have asked to try immunosuppressant drops but no-one will prescribe them, I suspect because they know little or nothing about scleroderma or the drops.

I would like to know about other people's experiences, before I completely give up and accept I've just got to live with the discomfort.
