Dry Eyes
« on: June 10, 2012, 09:17:35 am »
Another post mentioned Dry Eyes after surgery.

I found info that explains that:

http://www.levine-eyesurgery.com/pub/acoustic3.pdf

However, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced Dry Eyes during early onset.

My AN is 4mm and I'm W&W.

My discovery of my right ear hearing loss last December coincided with the onset of tinnitus in that ear.

But I also started experiencing Dry Eyes at the same time.

I think my dry eyes pre-op were coinciding with age, not the tumor, & it wasn't interfering with work, recreation, etc. My dry eye post surgery is horrendous due to right sided paralysis...

Could be my age. I was 65 a couple of months before it started. Just bothers me that it started mid-December almost to the day that the tinnitus started in my right ear.

Since then it seems like I use artificial tears by the bucket.
