I wear contacts and have for most of my life. I'm 56. About 2 years ago I started getting terrible dry eyes... only really with my contacts. Drops just made it worse. Doctors were no help. Then someone suggested cod liver oil. Low and behold it took maybe two days off taking it before I noticed a big difference. No more washing my eyes with saline every 15 min! Wild!! I also bought the oil in a glass jar to put on my lids but really only did that once.

I have both Sjogrens and lupus, and my eyes were so dry I could barely open them. They were also so sensitive to light it was dangerous to drive. I work with a computer all day, and that certainly doesn't help. My eye doctor suggested Restasis, but I wanted to try a more holistic approach. OTC eye drops only worked for a short time, and made my vision blurry for 30 minutes after.
So I came here and read about using Castor Oil on the lids at night. Well, I didn't have any Castor Oil but I did have a high quality Cod Liver oil, so I opened a gel cap and spread the oil on my eyelids (and my dry elbows) before bed time to give it a try. The very next morning my eyes felt soooo much better! WOW! And it lasts all day. I didn't even need the eye drops. What a Godsend! I skipped a night the other day and my eyes felt much drier that day, so now I don't skip a night. Been doing it for two weeks now, and feel so much better, and my eyes aren't red anymore, either. Thank you!!!
