In reply to Scott. Thanks Scott, I have had such a tough time with my eye and dryness. It is a relief to hear that it is not a continuing problem for you. I know everyone is different. I see Dr. Holland in January. My issue is better but still causes me discomfort. At the point in time when this is no longer a problem, I will be happy to share my story. Your updates have been very helpful and I am so happy you are doing well. I know in time I will be where you are now and I thank you. Leslie

In reply to Oz. I wanted to invite you to do a guest post on my site. But your experience will help the hundreds of KC people who visit my site each day. I cannot offer compensation other than my gratitude, editing and photo cleanup help. I'm fine with you remaining anonymous or using only first names.

In reply to Leslie. My eye dryness is ONLY an issue at night, and it seems related to humidity. When we started using our natural gas heat, I noticed more dryness. I use a liquid lubricant 1-2x at night which resolves it. During the day my eyes are very comfortable and I rarely use lubricant. I wear soft lenses remember. I'd welcome a guest post about your story if you'd like to tell your story on my site.

Hi Scott, I was wondering about your nighttime dryness. I know you mentioned before you had dry eye prior to surgery but it wasn’t a problem after surgery. Is the dryness a new issue? Is it only at night or is it a problem during the day? Is it due to wearing contacts? I ask because I had Dalk with Dr. Holland in July and am still wearing a bandage lens for the dryness. Dr. Holland promised me it will go away but it has tested me. He promised my eye would feel like it did before surgery. How is your eye at this point in time? Am hoping to hear only good things. Thanks. Leslie

In reply to mustafa. I'm not comfortable answering this question. It's a question for your doctor. Good luck with your eyes!
