learned so much. It's wonderful to connect with people who
understand this problem. I am 78, retired of course, and was
diagnosed last January. I've tried the Muro 128 5% drops and
ointment and neither did a thing for me. Now I'm trying bandage
contacts, and they do make my eyes feel more comfortable--no more
gritty, sandy feeling. But they don't affect the other symptoms--the
awful light sensitivity, the blurry vision, etc. My sight is not too
bad right now so maybe the doc uses this as a stop-gap measure. Any
help is welcome.
