Suggestions For The Dry Eyes After The Lasik Surgery
I recently added 10,000 mcg biotin and lutein 40mg to my vitamin regemen. I have had lasik surgery on my eyes in 2005 and have had trouble with dry eyes since. However lately it seems my left eye is much drier and affecting my vision. Any suggestions?
Hello It seems from the history that you are having dry eyes following lasik surgery. Dry eyes is common following lasik surgery and it occurs because of decreased corneal sensation which occurs following lasik surgery as the lasik surgery involves the lifting of a corneal flap thus decreasing the tear secretions. No need to worry, the treatment is easy and it responds very well to use of artificial tears eye drops. You can use it as frequently as one drop per one hour if the condition is severe. If it is affecting the vision also, then it indicates that the condition is severe, hence I advice you to consult your eye surgeon for examination to assess the severity of the condition and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
