Avatar m tn I was on Losartan 50mg which was working fairly well then the nephrologist suggested I switch to Amlodipine 2.5 mg. which he says is better for creatinine levels. I had been taking Amlodipine for a few weeks and BP rose. Doctor has increased to 5 mg. Not sure how long it will take to reduce BP. Has anyone any experience with Amlodipine? How is it? Any adverse side effects?

Avatar m tn Some of these are low blink rate, dry eyes and sight behavior. Dry eye is a chronic condition, however you can ask your eye doctor for a prescription like increasing tear production, and treating the inflammation of the eyelids. You can also try some alternatives to treat dry eyes by blinking regularly when staring at a computer screen or reading, wear sunglasses when you go outdoors, increase the level of humidity and ask for nutritional supplements for dry eye condition from your doctor.
Avatar f tn Every since I got pregnant my eyes have been so dry. No matter if I put eyes drops in them they are still dry. And suggestions on what to do? Has this happened to any of you?
Avatar n tn I have never had dry eyes before and the last two days I have had blurry vision and really dry itchy eyes. Could thyroid be causing this? I know it can cause some sort of eye disease, but I really don't know much about it. Thanks in advance!
Avatar m tn I have had Lasik 5 days ago. My eyes are so dry and scratchy that it is driving me crazy! The dryness decreases my ability to see. I have been putting drops into my eyes constantly, but it does not seem to help. Any suggestions?
458072 tn?1291415186 Well, I have started having another problem. I am getting dry eyes. I have never had this before, so maybe you can shed some light. Is this associated with the thyroid as well. I am starting to think that even hang nails are a result of hypothyroidism....(funny, don't you think). Seriously, I was reading an article that says that the T3 and T4 hormones are in every cell of our blood. That must be why it affects so many different things.
Avatar m tn If you are menopausal or post-menopausal be sure you and your gynecologist maintain optimal hormonal balance. (Many women with dry eyes have dry mouth and dry vaginal canal). If you have joint pain have that evaluated to be sure you don't have Sjorgren's syndrome. Many medications eg antihistamines can make dry eye worse. You might review your medications with your ophthalmologist.
Avatar m tn See an Eye MD ophthalmologist as some of your complaints are not due to dry eyes. 4. Also use the search feature and archives to read about dry eyes and an extra copy of the dry \eye article can be found on Dr.
Avatar f tn I was blaming my fibromyalgia for my eyes hurting. I went to eye doctor and he informed me that my "eyes are a mess". He said my eyes were not producing tears and the surface of my eyes have all kinds of micro-abrasions. Has anyone out there had this problem?
2143641 tn?1396678143 I don't know of any such relation. Try to use preservative free eyedrops (Artificial Tears). Ciao, Timothy D. McGarity, M.D.
Avatar m tn 1. The ghost image will only go away if it is due to dry eyes. If it is dry eyes it should go away after blinking or instilling artificial tears. If it doesn't it may be due to something else: needing glasses, incorrect glasses RX, poorly fitting contact lens, corneal disease other than dry eyes, cataracts or macular disease. No way I can tell you wish of these you have. 2. Find the best artificial tears for your eyes by trial and error and recording their effect.
Avatar m tn Due to dry eyes, i'm suffering from ghost image too.So, if my dry eyes are treated, will that ghost image problem be gone too? And after sometime, if i were to work in IT industry, then i have to sit in front of computer for 6-7 hours straight, so at that time, how can i prevent dry eyes affecting me?

Avatar n tn I even changed contacts per my eye dr. for dry eyes and that helped for a while, and now I have dry eyes again, with allergies in eyes, burning and itching pollen I know. But question (big One) does anyone have a cure or anyone have a clue of an idea that has hope them with dry eyes, and it is something that you can use in your eyes with your contacts still in. thanks for any info.
Avatar f tn ), is reluctant to fit me for a contact lens due to the dry eyes. Do you think that the restasis would help the dry eye so that I may better tolerate a contact lens? If so, I will bring up this possibility at my next appointment. As always thank you!!!
Avatar f tn I have been trying to find something to help my dry eyes. My Opthimal rubs a paper across my eyes which turns green. Her recommended medicine is Baush & Loom Soomth EP eye drops. Everytime I use them the next day the inside of my eyelids feel gritty like sandpaper. It is very uncomfortable. Retasis does the same thing. The Dr. tells me my dryness is between 3 and 4. Ocassionally my left eye swells and is painful. On thoses days I want to patch my eye to keep the light out.
Avatar f tn is it possible to see glares around street lights if u have very dry eyes? every time i go to doctor they prescribe me with eye drops for dry eyes after their full check up!
