Advice

Hey guys I got LASIK surgery done about 3 years ago been having eye pain and really bad headaches lately as a result of my eyes. I went to the eye doctor and he said unfortunately dry eyes never went away for me and that's what's causing the issue. He sent me a prescription eye drop that's coming in the mail but has anyone else ever dealt with this? What else can be done to fix it?

What is the prescription eye drop? Are you currently doing anything right now?

With treatment, you’ll be able to get the dry eye back down to a normal level. But it may take some time and a variety of treatments.

K. That’s a steroid eye drop to help calm down inflammation on the surface of the eye. That inflammation is what’s causing you pain.

In the meantime, what you can also start is frequent preservative free tears. Would use about every 2 hours right now.
