Have you tried lubricating eye drops to relieve dry eyes and improve lubrication?
I get dry eyes too, but only in my eyes, especially on sunny days, damned to be a vampire.
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
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.
I got eye surgery and now have 20/15 vision with chronic dry eyes

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.
