i am 70 years old and have developed this eye problem. i have done a google and seen numerous treatments from over the counter. has anyone experience of this condition and effective drops or whatever. many thanks
Yes this happens to me, especially during windy weather or if I'm inside a building that's too warm. I was recommended Hypromellose by the pharmacist & you can buy it over the counter for less than �2.
if you're in the uk, you'll get free prescriptions, so i would go and see your doctor and get some 'viscotears', which are a more soothing and longer lasting treatment than hypromelose drops. they're also more expensive, being about �5 a tube and can be bought over the counter. worth going to see the doctor though to get them on prescription. they really do make a difference.
many thanks ethandron,
hope your both well.
just a note to say many thanks for advising viscotears for dry eyes.
got some via gp and already had a lot of relief.
good old answer bank.
