I had to go see the eye doctor this passed Tuesday because of problems I’ve been having since I had Steven’s Johnson Syndrome. I am sure everyone knows what it is like to drive at night in the rain. I bet you see halos or stars around headlights and maybe even taillights.



My vision is like that all the time starting at the darker side of dusk. In the last few months it has gotten so bad that ALL lights at night are like that including streetlights, store signs…. Emergency vehicle lights are even worse because they flash. It makes it very difficult for me to see, focus, and judge.



He did a complete examination on my eyes. He dilated more than he normally does because he wanted to check every angle inside my eyes. He was looking for the cancer but fortunately; it had not spread there. Thank you, Lord!!

It turns out I have “Dry Eye Syndrome”. He told me to throw out all of my Visine (except Visine tears) and Clear Eyes. He said they actually dry the eyes out. Yes, they get rid of the redness for a while but eventually they make the eyes dry making you use more of it. No one should actually use them on a regular basis. He highly recommends “REFRESH TEARS”. You can use it as often as you need to everyday. You cannot “overdose” on it. It’s not that cheap but it is worth it. My eyes feel a little better but it has only been two full days. I also have not driven in the dark yet.

When my eyes get dry, I just pop my eyeballs out and soak them in a cup full of WD-40. That usually does the trick!

Actually, since I wear contacts, I use lubricating eyedrops. I hope yours are working well for you.
