chronic dry eye?

You can also walk into a truck stop bathroom. Dispense some foamy antibacterial soap into the palm of your hands. Vigorously rub it into your eyes...won't be able to see for about 10 minutes, but boy will they be watery!

 

And after you put the soap in your eyes stick your head in the sink, look up at the faucet run water in your eyes to rinse the soap out......bingo, clean watery eyes for the rest of the day!

 

I suffered from dry eyes (the kind that would stick your eyelid to your eye, they were so dry).
Things I've found make them dry up:
alcoholic beverages, not drinking water, and the newest one, cpap air making its way from your throat to your lacrimal ducts.

I had a corneal injury, too, so woodyinva, I know that pain. Stay hydrated and keep oiling your eyes. Mine got better after years.

 

Thanks, I will give that a try.

 

Come to think of it, my dry eyes started about the same time that I started on a c-pap in 2007.

(My cpap mask sometimes leaks near the bridge of my nose, blowing air around my eyes, too. Others have noticed the same. There's also the air that escapes from the "vent", too. Maybe switching masks or options could help.)
