I am undergoing treatment for something I can barely pronounce...
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca

Please pay attention to the potential eye damage that can occur if dry eye syndrom is left untreated.
I've had dry eye syndrome for a little over 6 months. I was using an OTC liquid gel type eye lubricant, which brought some relief. I was then prescribed Restasis for 3 months, used in conjunction with the gel to see if that would solve the problem. It helped a little, but my eyes still felt dry.
I finally bit the bullet and had punctal plugs inserted this past week. What a difference. I will still continue the Restasis and OTC drops, per the doctor's instructions.
The good news is my eye pressure also registered a little lower at my checkup. YAY! I am a potential glaucoma candidate. The 3 month checkups I faithfully go to will mean all the difference between undetected optic nerve damage and continued good vision.
So go get your eyes checked if you have not done so recently.
