Momsdream: I forgot to mention this in my previous post to you about your D. You mentioned her eyes are sensitive and get red and that you bought Visine for her. I also need to use eyedrops in the winter because my eyes get very dry when the heat is on. I learned from my pharmacist that you need to be very careful using Visine or any clear-the-red-out-of-your-eyes type of eye drops. It uses some kind of medication that does the job but your body very quickly grows dependent on it. (Instant shrinkage of swollen membranes, I think.) It is the same situation with the nasal spray Afrin. You are not supposed to use either of these meds for more than three days.
You can buy plain saline eyedrops that will hydrate the eyes and that are not adding to the problem. These eyedrops will say on the bottle that they can be used as much as needed. The brand that I have is Bausch and Lomb Moisture Eyes Protect.
