I'm not sure, but I think they were all optometrists. I will see about finding an opthamologist. I have to rub the stuff out of my eyes...it can blur my vision. It's also irritating and can make me panicky. I've had this for about 27 years.

The problem with the eyedrops is, I can't afford them. The ones I tried only helped to varying degrees, and my boyfriend didn't like spending $50 a month, just so I could take them at night (I tried to live without them during the day). He can't afford that, and I sure can't. And I've read many times that eye drops can make dry eye worse in the long run.
