Best solution to stop rubbing eyes?

Postby London123 » Sat 05 Jun 2021 11:42 am

I was diagnosed with KC on both of my eyes a few years ago. I had CXL carried out on both eyes about a year ago. One of the causes of me developing KC was frequent eye rubbing because of severe allergies. I am trying to be a lot more disciplined about avoiding this as I now know how harmful it can be. The problem is that I have tried a range of different eye drops (Opatanol, Alomide, Sodium Cromoglicate etc.) to try to resolve the issue but they haven't been all that effective. My Ophthalmologist doesn't seem to take this issue all that seriously. Can someone here suggest a solution?

Thanks.
