I was in a similar situation with you, I too was prescribed as having Blephartitis by multiple opthamologist, I did what they told me to do, clean my eye lids, warm compress, eye drops (various brands) didn't help.
After diligently tracking the root cause, data gathering and the likes, I found the issue and I have been dry eyes free since (mostly). As a matter of fact, I had my LASIK, which makes dry eyes worse usually, and have little to no dry eyes.
What's intriguing about your case is this sentence "I wake up with tired, dry eyes and it's a battle all day long" your symptom is the same as mine. My situation is this: My eyes don't close all the way when I sleep, thus throughout the night, they will get exposed and dry up badly. After 8 hours, it's plain to see why I would wake up with dry eyes and the dryness lasts throughout the day.
My solution is simple, before going to bed, I tape my eyes shut and I use a 3M tape. I tape it in a way if I try to open my eyes I won't be able to.
Please do try that for a few days and let me know if it helps :)
- djb_hackernews 13y agoTHAT is something I haven't tried. I'll be headed to the store today to get some tape. Thanks for replying.
