Dry Eye Syndrome and shooting pains..Please advice?!


Question: Dry Eye Syndrome and shooting pains..Please advice.?
Everynight my eyes get extremely dry and painful, that it takes me nearly 2 mins for me to open my eyes and the process is extremely painful and blinding.
In the morning I get shooting sharp pains from my eyes to my head and that causes headaches everyday.
This all started after I got bacterial conjunctivitus 3 months ago.
Please can you give me any advice you have.
Thanks a lotHealth Question & Answer


Answers:
You have dry eye syndrome!! You probably are sleeping with your eyes open during the night. Tips: cut off the ceiling fan if you have one, buy some artificial tears like Systane or Refresh, not Visine. Use the tears AT LEAST 4 times per day. Go see an ophthalmologist, not an optometrist. They can give your prescription tears such as Restasis or plug your tear ducts to keep your own tears around longer. also try using an eye gel such as Refresh PM or Genteal gel at bedtime to keep your eyes moist during the night. GO SEE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST!!Health Question & Answer
