Getting caught without my dry eye aids.

I've worked so hard to build up my arsenal of things that help with dry eye that I've kind of forgotten what it's like to try to do stuff without them!

Recently my husband and I swapped cars (only one of our cars is good for transporting our kids so we do this often) and I forgot to grab my specialty sunglasses that I use for driving.

Thankfully I did not have to drive far and the conditions were pretty good, but it was TOUGH. I also discovered that the eye drops I keep in my purse had expired, so I didn't even have backup relief.

Sometimes I take for granted all the things that aid me in coping with my dry eye. All it takes is one little gap without them to remember how helpful they are.

Have you had to go without, if you ran out of supplies or accidentally left your dry eye aids behind?
