Dry eyes

Been using Simalasn for Dry Eyes for some time and eye supports to keep eyes healthy like Grape Seed Extract, Vit C, Lutein/Billberry, Crystalline for Cataract prevention. My eyes are good at 81. No eye diseases.
 

A dry eye problem is not simply not enough tears. Similar to skin, tears have 3 ingredients - water, oil & salt. All 3 need to be present in the right proportions. Dry eyes usually is due to an imbalance of 1 or more of those 3 things. In my case, it's probably too much oil, which causes the blur, then clear, then blur when I blink. I also produce too much oil on my face & scalp; that's why I shampoo & shower twice a day.
I use "Refresh" every morning. It helps with comfort but not with the blur.
 
My eye doctor recommended the exercise mentioned and cleaning the lids with Thera Lid.

I tried different drops. I would not use anything that stings.

He also recommended warm compresses but above all keep the eyelids clean. It comes and goes.
 

I was diagnosed with dry eyes about 20 years ago and the ophthalmologist recommended OTC drops - Visine. They really didn't do much. But peeling an onion does. Let the tears flow. Cheap easy and natural.

It's funny but peeling onions has no effect on my eyes whatsoever.
I think my tear ducts have passed the best by date a long time ago.
 
My dry eyes are partially caused by having Rosacea in my eyes. My Ophthalmologist says in addition to using daily eyedrops she recommends to use those gel bead eye masks that you can heat up and put them on your eyes for a few minutes. The heat opens up the tear ducts and helps lubricate the eyes. It does work very well for me!
