when I was 34 years old, I had orbitalbdecompressions and it helped a lot. i use eye drops for allergies and dry eye. allergies, I use Olpataday Equate and for dry eye, I use S ystane ultra PF. sometimes it helps and sometimes not. for discomfort I do take 2 Tylenol 650 mg. I have arthritis, too and it helps a lot.

No, I’ve not yet found anything that helps. It was recommended to use lid scrubs, eye drops and heat for relief. Relief is temporary at best. I cannot take tepezza or other biologics and can only take small amounts of prednisone due to other health conditions. I look like I’ve been beaten up and do not go in public because I’m too embarrassed to be seen.
This is hell

Diana, have you discussed orbital decompressions? i had it done when I was 34 years old. i understand they don't do it the same way they did in 1984. That is a good thing. But look into that. it helped me a lot. I am 73 now and thexdryness and watery eyes with grit and blurriness is what bothers me now. I am receiving Tepezza now. everything I have done has helped me over time. it might be worth the discussion. Good luck.

In the past couple weeks I’ve been wearing ski goggles round the clock. It helps my eyes from being as dry and for longer periods of time between eye drops. When my eyes hurt a lot, I first use a warm compress for 10-15 minutes followed by a cold compress,
