Hi Margie! I too had many problems with my eyes, especially the red, irritated, not-closing-at-night feeling. You’re already using the eye lubricant at night for dryness. Have you tried taping or covering your eyes? Using the sensitive-type first aid tape helps the most for complete eye closure, but covering your eyes by tying a bandana around your head or wearing a silk mask may help also. It’s not very comfortable to deal with at night, but your eyes will thank you in the morning.
Best of luck at the ophthalmologist next week! I hope he has some answers for you. Debby
