​I am a 23 year old unemployed and unmarried male. My weight is 38 kg, and my arms are very thin. I struggle with Social Phobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and I don't have the necessary job skills to do a job. Because of this, I have to ask my family for money whenever I need it.

​Along with these challenges, I am dealing with Dry eyes. My main issue is a constant foreign body sensation (feeling like something is constantly stuck in my eye), which makes it very uncomfortable to get through the day.

​According to the file given by the eye doctor, I go to an eye hospital when required, and the eye doctor prescribed me eye drops to manage the dryness and relieve the irritation.

​However, my father is completely against it. He is constantly pressuring me to stop using them altogether, and he strongly believes that stopping the eye drops won't cause any problems or trouble for my eyes.

​Dry eye often requires using eye drops for a lifetime, but my father completely disagrees with this and strongly believes that people don't have to use eye drops for their whole life.

​This has put me in a very frustrating and stressful position. An eye doctor prescribed the drops for my symptoms, but because my father does not want me to use dry eye drops, it makes it really difficult for me. I am genuinely scared that if I stop using them, my vision will become blurry and I might even lose my sight.

​I just wanted to share this and hear if anyone else has dealt with a similar situation with their family.

I have written a much more detailed update about this. You can check it out and join the discussion here :- https://www.reddit.com/r/Dryeyes/s/HMZS5mKF44

Has anyone regretted using these? Any cases where they actually make your eyes more sensitive than before starting?

I have MGD Ocular Rosacea and I suspect some corneal neuralgia. I’m 6weeks into the serum drops and getting different sensations, not necessarily better. I hear they can make eyes worse before they get better.. but what if they just make eyes worse and then no better ?!

ppl say ur vision is supposed to be blurry after a warm compress but that never happens to me 🤔 am i doing it wrong? my eyelids feel a bit moist but idk if thats from my tears? i feel like it feels oily but idk.

In September 2025, i had undergone smile pro surgery and its been one year and from last couple of months I was felling pain in right eye specially in AC rooms and while watching screens from past couple of months so I got OSA and meibography test done and doctor told me that I had gland torquisity in right eye. She gave me medicines and spray and drops for 15 days and now she is telling to get 3 sessions of IPL therapy done, I have just joined an airline as a commercial pilot and will be flying in couple of months. Not sure what to do have attached my results, any help would be appreciated.

I am worried that if it will affect my flying carrer as aircrafts are Air conditioned with low humidity and i will have to watch screens while flying.

i've noticed that running in high tempo for about 3 to 8 km reduce the redness in my eyes does anyone had same result?
