   <p>I have a triple whammy, I have Allergies, Chronic Dry Eye and Macular Degeneration. My Dry eyes, Have been this way. For over 25 years. I have Redness, Burning, and Watering. Especially in my left eye is the worst as far as watering. My Eye Dr. Started me out with Systane. I&#39;ve used it all this time, It gives me great relief as far as the burning, I use it alot. One strange thing about my dry eyes is, if I wear Mascara. My eyes dont water as much, strange as that seems, its true. But with my AMD, I have some blurriness, and Floaters, but that&#39;s part of have this Disease. I also heard that it usually runs in Families. But no one in my Family has it. Or has ever had it. Now my Father-in-law had it, His Brother had it, My Sister-in-law has the beginnings of it. Also my Husband was told that he would more than likely get it.That&#39;s my Story and I&#39;m sticking to it! ❤</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="CommunityMember9c7a6f" user-id="6608104"/> you do have a lot going on with your eyes. I also have dry AMD, chronic dry eyes, &amp; floaters. I am glad Systane provides you some relief. It is odd that mascara helps with watering of your eyes but whatever helps is great. There is a hereditary link with macular degeneration but not everyone in a family will get it. There are 4 in my family with macular degeneration but we shared multiple risk factors including smoking. Thanks for shattering your story. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader </p>

   <p>Hi <inline-mention username="cincin" user-id="6918045"/>. It&#39;s been a while since you posted this. I wanted to check in and see whether you eventually gave ozonated saline water solution a try and if so, how that worked out for you. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)</p>
