It's important to remember that you have two different issues going on - glaucoma and dry eyes. Your eyes don't hurt because of your glaucoma and the glaucoma drops are not intended to stop them from hurting.


There is more you can do to start treating your dry eyes.

  1. Keep using the lubricating drops 4 times per day. You may want to try preservative free drops (they come in little vials and are more expensive but worth it) - Genteal is a good brand

  2. Start using an artificial tear ointment at night - This is the best brand

  3. Take fish oil supplement twice daily

  4. Start warm compresses once or twice a day. NOT just a wet wash cloth. Warm up uncooked rice in a sock or get one of these

  5. Ask your doc about punctal plugs

    I know this seems like a lot, but once they stop hurting you can cut back. There is no quick fix for dry eyes. It's super annoying but sticking with these recommendations is the only way you'll get better.

    With regards to your glaucoma drops -- I know it seems like a lot but it is NECESSARY if you want to be able to see when you are 100. Poor drop compliance is the #1 cause of glaucoma vision loss. Stick with it or you will regret it.

    Best of luck to you, friend!
