constant red eyes - nothing helps Posted: 11-25-07 01:03am
For several years, my eyes have always
been red. I do wear contact lenses, but it
does not seem to effect the level of
redness in my eyes. I have gone weeks
without wearing them in the past, and they
are still red.
The only time they feel very irritated is
when I wake up in the morning. They're so
dry, it feels like they are glued shut and
I have to put drops in. Clear Eyes gets
rid of the redness, but it's only
temporary. It wears off after about 30
minutes.
I don't have any swelling of the eyelids,
and an optometrist has told me that my
eyes are perfectly healthy. Does anyone
have any idea what the problem could be
and how to fix it? I do have extremely
high blood pressure. Could that be a
factor?
Any help would be appreciated.

DO NOT USE CLEAR EYES. They can cause
rebound problems and actually make your
eyes worse. Try using a preservative-free
eye drops such as Refresh or Genteal when
you wake up NOT Visine or Clear Eyes or
anything that says "get the red out."
You should see an opthomologist as they
have better treatments for dry eyes. It
could also be conjunctivitis.

You may have dry eye. Refresh and Genteal
are ok, but quite temporary.
You need to treat your dry eye from THE
INSIDE OUT. Drink a lot of water,
especially celery water. Take flaxseed oil
supplements. Take bilberry supplements.
Take omega-3 supplements.
Drink basil tea. Soak chamomile tea bags
in warm water and place over eyes.
