Dry & pain eyes

[sonicboyz]

any idea what's the remedy for dry eyes?

And while working on the computer (normal 9 to 5) office, eyes are painful.
It is a prolong syntom for several years

If condition is real bad, go see an optometrist and ask him to put plugs for your eyes. It cost about $200 to have them inserted and will help to relieve dryness in your eyes. I use an eyedrop Can-C for dry eyes and it has help alot. http://www.wisechoicemedicine.net/store/information.php?info_id=11

Try these exercises to relieve http://www.hanford.gov/amh/eye/index.html

put plugs painful anot and is it permanent cure?

Can-C where to buy in spore and how much?

[Karianne]

The plugs are very small and not painful at all. It is permanent as long as you don't dislodge them. I can't use them now because I do lots of eye exercises and the plugs get dislodged out of the tear glands. However, all these time I had them (about 3 over years) it was not noticeable at all and the eyes did not feel dry. There are only two plugs to be inserted by the way.

Can-C has to be ordered through that website. Not cheap though. I bought two packs of 4 bottles and it set me back by S$200+. 4 bottles would roughly last me about 4-5 months and to get good results, have to use for a year or so. So far I have used two bottles and got good results. I used to have a blurry patch in my left eye which I suspected was beginning of cataract and that has diminished. The eye doctors here could not diagnose what problem I have so out of desperation I tried Can-C.

Try the plug first. It is cheaper and as good.

where to get plugs and can we take them out from the eyes once inserted?

[Karianne]

I got mine from National Eye Centre. You can make appointment for eye checkup and then request for the plugs. They can be removed. In my case they just disappeared out of my eyes without my knowledge after I did vigorous eye exercises.

Here is a link for you to read on eye plugs http://www.goodhope.org.uk/Departments/eyedept/plugsdryeyes.html

tears = wet wet
no tear = dry dry

You complain dry, so make it wet?

[warhunter]

yawning stimulates reflex tears. improve blink habits. esp when doing near work. blink rates would decrease. just try to blink more.

u need to rest ur eyes more...and use eye drop sounds like infection

[warhunter]

EH BRO. dun anyhow say infection leh. infection if so easy diagnose. dont need optometrist or doctors alrdy lor. Since his case appears when he is working and is there all the time MOST LIKELY it is not an infection.
