Hi I was hoeping someone might be able to offer me some advice. I have reccently cut my cornea and according to the doctors I need to have laser surgery which they are putting me forward for, in the mean time I have been given some artificial tears to use every hour and some gel stuff called Laci-Lube to use on an evening to prevent my eyes from drying out and causing anymore damage.
The problem I am having is that the Lacri-Lube doesnt seem to be having any effect during the night and I keep waking up in agony, this is because my eyes are drying out and pulling the skin off the weakened part of my eye. While I wait for the laser surgery I wondered if anyone knows of anything that I could use to help lubricate my eye at night? Any gels, medicines or anything else that might help at all??
Thankyou
Ben
