I use Optase preservative free eye drops for severe dry eyes per recommendation of my eye surgeon and optometrist. They both recommend IPL therapy, but one of them gave me an RX for xiidra eye drops that I have yet to fill.
Fun fact - wearing sunglasses can help reduce developing macular degeneration later in life, so wear those sunnies when out in the daytime.
Does Optase have a contacts-friendly version? I have absolutely terrible dry eyes and they’re worse with contacts in. (Hi @maipu I also have the same eye issues as you).
Hello fellow disabled jaja , in my country it is very difficult for imported ones to enter but if that is not your case, there are some called “Optase dry eye intense drops” I used them when I used “fantasy contact lenses” for some cosplay where I was with contact lenses for a long time, perhaps the important thing is not the company but trying which one best suits our pretty eyes
I landed some Optase drops and ointment. Tried the ointment last night and it did indeed prevent me from waking up to a crusty mess on my eyes. It’s encouraging. I am going to try to roll with my contacts today while carrying the drops and see how it works out.
I’m so glad they helped you :) That’s a great sign that your eyes are responding well to the treatment Now, when you try in your contacts today, I recommend, in my humble opinion, that you put in the lubricating drops before you put in your contacts and make sure the drops are fully absorbed before you put in your contacts, then simply repeat the drops 2 or 3 times a day to keep your eyes well hydrated and prevent them from drying out
And now, when they see you without that morning crust, you can proudly say, “ Yes, I’m using Optase… my eyes are cleaner than my search history! ” jaja
I hope you find these little tips helpful, take care of those little eyes!
Pd: this week I changed the frame of my glasses, I like them but they are made of metal and I feel a little fragile, we will expand …
yes, there will be publication with metallic glasses (L). I would also like to assess if the metal frame is more durable or is it just a gold colored painted wire , I suspect the latter Like you I have been trying them on and have dropped them once and they have not broken.

how many hours have you been wearing contact lenses?
How interesting about your eye care routine! Sounds like you’re in good hands, did you know that Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is not only great for dry eyes, but also for the skin? It can help reduce age spots and rosacea, so it’s a two for one ! I hope you find relief with Xiidra drops if you decide to buy them, and always remember to take care of those precious little eyes
I’m excited to try IPL therapy around my eyes for the skin benefits. We only have one set of eyes, so we gotta take care of them!
I noticed you are new to Lemmy, so I hope you enjoy the fediverse and all that Lemmy has to offer. It’s a small community here compared to other networks but it’s very positive.

Optase has a couple different drops that say contacts-compatable on their boxes. Including the “dry eye intense drops” that I use.
You should talk to your eye doctor about your dry eyes because if your oil glands are clogged for too long, they’ll stop producing oil permanently.

Post with the new glasses?
Gone almost all day with the contacts. So far so good.
