Hi Margie!
I wouldn’t advise you to get the tear-gel for night time, The DR.must
not have understood me!?! the tear gel is used for daytime.
I have duralube now for the nightime, glad I picked it up just in case.
Now I have to wait until monday to get this straighten out.
I know what your going through, I can’t get a proper night sleep either.
There must be a cream that can last through the night.
Are your eyes closing completely at night? I know how irratated your
eyes can get, I will let you know if my othamologist as any suggestions
when I call on monday, In the meantime if you find something that
actually “works” PLEASE let me know:.)
Best of luck,
Shannon

Thanks for the info, I will try the tear-gel. I am always looking
at this BB for ideas to better my eyes. I have Egor type eyes but
they do close during the day but dry out some. Natural tears helps
during the day but night time is my problem. My Opt doctor says my
eyes do not shut at night when I am in a relaxed sleep. I thought
because I could shut them during the day they must be shutting at
night also. WRONG! I started getting blister type sacks at the bottom
1/3 of my eyes. After my Opt Dr. realized what was causing this I
started using the duralube, the sacks went away but the reddness
remained.Months have gone by and my eyes are still red and irratated.
I am due for the Opt Dr.apt. next week and I know my eyes have
protruded more (definitely past the Betty Davis stage) and I am
experiencing double vision and blurred vision. There seem to be no
end to eye problems with GD.I keep thinking tomorrow this will
stop!!! Tomorrow !!Tomorrow!!Tomorrow!!” ” “
