I used Lacrilube S.O.P. ointment at night and Natural Tears II during the day. I have a lot of allergies and these worked with no problem. My eye specialist said nto try covering eyes with sleep mask ( I found my lashes would get caught in the material and my eyes would stay open even more than before), swimming goggles – my eyes were too puffy and the plastic of the goggles made a real indentation areound my eyes. He then suggested I tape them shut but I didn’t like that idea – too much like coins in the eyes like when people died in ancient times. Anyway, I ended up just using the ointment and drops because I didn’t find anything else useful. These drugs are Canadian available without prescription but I’m sure ther must be similar ones in the states., KIndest regards
