Yes last week. My eyes as far as what you described have calmed down. And the Opth said the dry spots in my eyes are not as bad as before. I have been having this weird throbbing pain but what you described was from the beginning. May I suggest cold compress. I usually soak my washcloth in Ice water Yes I throw icecubes in a bowl with some water and soak a few minutes and man it feels so good. The washcloth stays cold for a long time this way and you flip the wash cloth as it warms up yet the other side will be cool. try it you may discover some relief. Irene
