Hi,

I have this problem, and yes, dry eyes can cause long term, serious issues. I would suggest you see an optometrist for an exam to see how inflamed or damaged your corneas are, so you have a baseline.

As for the dry eyes, there are things you can do: warm moist compresses in the evening, use of moisturing ointment or gel, sleep goggles to create little "terrariums" to keep your eyes moist, steroid eye drops to control inflammation, omega 3 oils (flax or fish) taken daily...the list continues.

I've tried all of the above, with varied success. Even though I am largely symptom free from MG thanks to the reboot, my eyes seem to have sustained permanent damage from the MG (I'm MuSK positive) and I'll be dealing with the dry eye issue forever. Right now I'm good with a combo of good eyelid hygiene, steroid drops when needed, omega oil and ointment when sleeping as needed (I've gotten where I can tell before bed if it will be a "good" or "bad" eye night.)

Dry eyes do need to be taken seriously. I can no longer wear contacts, and I have to be really careful about what cosmetic products to use around my eyes. I may be an extreme case, so hopefully you will find a solution that is simpler than mine. LOL

Hope this helps.
