I had EVERY Chronic Dry Eye symptom that's in the book:
Dry eye feeling
Sandy eye feeling
Scratchy eye feeling
Burning eye
Stinging eye
Excessive tearing
Eye pain
Redness of the eye
Blurred vision
Degraded vision
Every day I'd experience something different from that list
On really bad days I'd have a combination of several items.
After 2 years of dealing with this and countless visits to 6 different eye doctors - nothing worked just yet. Then I was going to start taking Restasis (
http://www.restasis.com/default2.htm), which is supposed to increase tear production in the eye and can take up to 6 months before it becomes effective. I actually have the bottle right here, but haven't used it yet.
It is all gone now, most likely thanks to the Omega-3 that I constantly feed into my body
From all the readings that I've done (and I read A-L-O-T), I've yet to read about a single dry eye. None of the articles/resources I read ever mentioned having the problem only in one eye. If this is your problem - it may be very rare. I'd go see a doctor if regular over-the-counter lubricating drops don't help the eye.
