02/19/2021 101524188 [Other] I sleep with eye shields and have a cool air humidifier on overnight. I use autologous blood serum as the daily lubricant
11/14/2020 88897992 [Other] Sleep, what’s that
08/18/2020 77708146 [Other] Initially I couldn't sleep at all but currently now that I have things under control dry eye doesn't usually effect my sleep.
12/03/2019 [Other] need drops when getting up at night.
08/19/2019 [Other] In the beginning, but have developed a routine that sustains the night at this time.
08/14/2019 [Other] Only if I use nighttime ointment. Without that my eyes would be "glued shut" in the morning.
08/07/2019 [Other] It doesn’t keep me from sleeping through the night but does impact waking up. I have to add drops right awake, close eyes and wait for them to “wake” up. If I am ever woken up from a deep sleep, I end up with a cornea erosion.
08/07/2019 [Other] When you're over 65 you don't have set an alarm. Your bladder is your alarm. Just put in the drops when nature calls.
08/05/2019 [Other] I struggle with sleep apnea, insomnia and restless legs syndrome. RLS is well managed. Difficulty with CPAP mask fit and insomnia that has gotten a little worse since menopause. A good night's sleep is difficult to attain for me right now.
07/30/2019 [Other] There is no impact, as long as I use moisture goggles, and ointments.
