Describe Your Average Day Managing Dry Eye?
Recently Ava shared what an average day of managing dry eye looks like for her ( https://chronicdryeye.net/living/day ).
Lots of interesting stuff there. Curious if others want to share what an average day of managing dry eye looks like.
I usually start with a warm compress. Then onto the three eye drops, 5 minutes apart. Then I use the iTear 100 for 60 seconds on each side of my nose. Then I do the tyrvaya nasal spray. If my eyes are really dry i'll wear my moisture chamber goggles for a few hours.
how do know if ITear or the tyrvaya spray is what is actually helping you? Hi Carley! I feel like with dry eye all the tools I am using help somewhat in different ways. My doctor did measure my tear break up time before and after starting the itear and Tyrvaya. Initially they were 3 seconds and now they are 6.
Thanks, that's really good helpful advice
I start my days cleaning my eyelids with tea tree wipes recommended by my doctor. I use GenTeal eyedrops and then use the Bruder microwaveable eye mask for 10 minutes. I reapply drops at noon. After dinner I use the Bruder mask again and reapply drops. At bedtime I use GenTeal gel drops. Sharon Moore team member
very nice! It doesn't seem too complicated, although I know it can sometimes be a pain to put in eye drops. Thanks for sharing. -Ava, (chronicdryeye.net team)
