COVID-19 and Dry Eye

In this video I am talking about having COVID-19 and how it affected my dry eye. I definitely had a bad flare up leading up to being diagnosed with COVID. Luckily, after testing negative and feeling better, I was able to get into my dry eye specialist and have a session of IPL (intense pulse light). That and a good steroid eye drop, I was back to feeling somewhat normal.
