Riven
Bad Chin
Anyone have any experience with this? I never had problems until recently ( the last six months or so ). It began with a bad eye doctor visit. She got my rx all messed up and I quite wearing my contacts for quite a while and wearing my glasses a lot more.
Now it's to the point where I can hardly wear my contacts. MY brand is being discontinued I'm told, and they put me in some new silicone ones. They feel great for one day, but then they are so bad it feels like sand in my eyes. Plus they're slippery and slimy!
They put me in a pair that is similar to my old ones ( that's I've worn for over 15 years, not the same pair of course) and they were better, but only lasted about three days with constant eye drops.
Even when I don't wear my contacts my eyes get so dry when I put the eye drops in they burn so badly I have to keep them closed for about 5 min. I sleep with "eye goop" in my eyes most of the time, I've tried allergy drops, allergy pills, the systane drops that used to be heaven to my eyes now burn like hot coals...
The eye doctor doesn't seem to care... and I really would love to wear my contacts again...
I'm totally open to suggestions, I know I'll hear get a second opinion, the eye doctor is not covered well on our insurance and I'm trying to get Hailey's doctor bills from her leg paid off before I make more. I cry just fine... in fact I was bawling like a baby watching Toy Story 3 the other day, lol. So I'm at a loss. I'd love to see if anyone has any suggestions to try at home, or things to ask the doctor about when I go in.
I did read that this can be associated with diabetes. After having gall bladder issues I'm on a pretty strict diet, I'm high risk for diabetes but haven't seemed to have any issues I have had in the past with light headed etc. I've actually lost over 10 lbs and feel awesome. I'd have thought the new diet would have helped the eyes if anything... I drink water all the time, with an occasional cup of kool aid ( once every week or two ) and drink plenty of fluids. Dry air probably isn't the cause, the humidity here is so high, I'm sure we've easily had over a foot of rain this spring, and today it was so humid my glasses fogged up when I walked out the front door!
Thanks for any suggestions, because I'm out of ideas!
