Dry Eyes Support Group

Hi,

I recently got into a pretty bad accident on Feb 13 which ironically was Friday the 13th. Anyways it was a head on collision with the driver fleeing the scene. Later the person had the nerve to come to my house while I was in the hospital and try to start stuff with my family.

The accident was so bad, I broke my hip which I have to have pins put in it and my eye got cut by the sunglasses I was wearing while my nose was broke and I had to get stitches in both areas. I believe I blacked out for a minute or so, when I got out, I took 1 step and fell like a rock.

I was in the hospital for close to a month and in rehab for another 2 weeks. My eye has been dry since then and though it feels like it's getting slightly, it's still very irritating and I get sad cause I feel like it's never going to get back to normal. My doctor has recommended that I use Eye drops (fake tears) during the day which I use a good amount and at night use Lacri-Lube but it's just affecting my daily life. I don't see my doctor till June which I cannot get an answer as to what I need to do or whether this is going to be a permanent condition so if anyone has any answers to this then I appreciate it.
