eyelid spasms?

Postby Michelle Oates » Sun 17 Feb 2013 11:44 pm

hi

Haven't been on here for a while due to other health issues.

Just got a question.

Just recently in my grafted eye. ive been getting spasms in eyelid.

my contact lens fit isnt still right. and i have chronic dry eyes in both eyes. worse in ungrafted eye. no eye drops are helping.

just wondered if its anything to do with fit of lens or anything else albeit i have been getting other sorts of spasms.

just trying to rule out things

Michelle

Is it possible that the fit of your lens is being affected by dry eye? I use Clinitas Soothe, even with my lens in, and it helps with any trouble.

As to the little spasms in your eyelid, I wonder whether that is connected, also? Could it be that your dry eye is objecting to having a foreign body on it and your eyelid is convulsing in an involuntary attempt to reject the lens? If this suggestion is the most complete nonsense, I guess somebody will say so in a moment.

Every good wish

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your reply.

Funnily enough a new contact lens arrived in the post the other day with the new prescription in, for grafted eye.

I put in in today and i think she has altered the edge lift on it as it fits fine now and up to now i have had no problems.


Thanks anyway. I will try the clinnitas soothe.
