Hi

Am trying systane drops but am finding them quite painful & irritable after i put the drops in and it lasts all day.

Has anyone had this reaction and does it subside.

I do not know, but I use Aquify and they are working good. I think Systane was the one i used before, and then I had problems with it in the beginning...seeming a little foggi.

May I ask when you have a problem with dry eyes? Mine are worst in the morning. I am wondering if that is common. During the day, I am fine, but in the morning it feels like I have sandpaper in my eyes...Then the drops really help! Is this dryness related to KC? And is it common to be dry in the morning?
