I suffer from glaucoma and 3 months ago developed a dry eye problem. After trying unsuccessfully to deal with this issue it was decided to stop my eye drops and monitor both the glaucoma and the dry eye problem. The dry eye has now gone and the glaucoma pressure in each eye is within the “observe” band.
