I've had absolutely unbearable dry eye pain for close to four months. In the beginning it was so bad that I had a hard time reading, was in constant pain and couldn't stand playing a video game. I found a product that gave me a bit of soothing but I still felt constant pain and discomfort, and still couldn't play most games with a lot of action going on screen at the same time.
I was really afraid in the first few weeks, as I had some college papers to do and they involved reading a LOT of pages with very dense and small text, which I simply couldn't bear. I had to ask someone to read me some the text aloud, and for my next research project the result was poorer than I wanted to because I couldn't bear doing sufficient research.
I ended up getting used to it with the product to soothe my eyelids but it still didn't treat the source of the problem. I think it's been caused by a combination of the extremely dry air in my apartment, and a diet lacking in vitamins. I bought a humidifier but the damage was already done.
Finally I found some interesting stuff on the Internet, gels caps designed to help regenerate tear film and soothe dry eyes, and special lubricant eye drops called Dwelle which help to recover the lost moisture in the eyelids. It took a long time but I imported these from the US and finally received them both.
It's only been five days that I've begun taking them but the difference is amazing. My eyes are recovering their wetness at an incredibly fast pace, and my eyelids' soreness is getting tamer constantly!
I've began to feel a whole lot happier because of this. Eye professionals were absolutely useless and kept telling me there was nothing wrong with my eyes because there were no obvious physical ailments for them to observe. But I knew they were wrong, and I found the cure myself. I'm happy I didn't lose hope, and I found a few games with little action going on screen and little scrolling to keep be sparsely entertained in the meanwhile (Dragon Age, Arcanum, and the original Baldur's Gate).
Soon I'm going to be able to delve in my gigantic backlog and play for hours on end without breaking a sweat like I always used to. Might & Magic VI is the one I can't wait to finish. My favorite game ever.
