about 3 or 4 months ago i had to have my 2 year eye test which he told me i had dry eyes they sold me some eye drops but told me to go and see my doctors as my dry eyes would need eye drops for the rest of my life not a nice thing to look forward to after seeing my doctor and trying 2 different eye drops the doctor tried me on a eye gel which seemed to work i was told i would have have eye drops for the rest of my life and that it was due to my diabetes what i am most angry about i was given very little information about dry eyes

i was never told about dry eyes either, but i have to constantly buy over the counter eye drops to keep my eyes feeling ok

i think i need to see my doc and try to get eye drops on perscription, will be free and might work better

No I have never been given any info on dry eyes either .I have just come off a course of eye drops for an infection so I wonder if that's why I keep getting problems although it is only ever my right eye and the doctor was mumbling about referring me to a specialist to have it cleaned out or something .Mind it doesn't help that they have changed the way the free eye tests and care is beingre administered and our local optician ha s withdrawn from the scheme because he reckons he won't get paid as much as he was demanding so I am not sure where I am supposed to go with any problems

The only information I was given was from my Specsavers optician but I was not told it was linked to mt diabetes. However she recommended Systane which I get on prescription & they are wonderful.
