Help for severe dry eyes?

I tried searching for an answer on here but I'm so miserable right now I hope someone can help. My left eye is so super dry and sore and it's a holiday so I can't call dr. I'm not sure what eye drops are safe to use? I have Refresh Liquigel and Systane Gel ( my left cornea was scratched a few months ago and dr said I was at risk for dry eye) I've tried researching but can't find a straightforward yes it's safe answer. If anyone has a link or info to share I would appreciate it

Re: Help for severe dry eyes?

  • - I wasn't preg at the time when I saw the eye dr for the cornea scratch so that's why I'm unsure if it's safe

  • I can't help you but Ive got the same issue. I wasn't sure if it was pregnancy related or not tho. Who am I kidding everything is pregnancy related now a days!

  • Anything that is non medicated should be fine. Blink, refresh etc. they all make items that are just replacement tears. Look at the ingredients. But I think refresh or Blink would be fine.
  • If you can, run a humidifier near your bed at night.

    Eye drops are fine - saline for your eyes and the gel drops are fine too.
