Answers:
In regard to your first question about going blind from dry eye the answer is yes!. In SEVERE cases of dry eye the eye becomes so dry that it loses its structural integrity and actual breaks down and thins so severely that the cornea will perforate!.
In regard to Restasis one of the most common side effects is transient stinging upon instillation of drops!.
In regard to how long, Restasis is not a cure for dry eye!. It is a treatment to control the condition!. This means if you discontinue using the drug the inflammatory issues that have caused the dry eye syndrome in the first place may return and therefore cause the syndrome to worsen to pre treatment levels!. So, if you decide to use Restasis, you need to realize it is an ongoing course of treatment!.
In regard to supplements there is some evidence that taking supplements such as flax seed oil or omega 3 fatty acids can improve the quality of your tear production!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had dry eye for a month,drops all day long tried 6 different drops,my eye was stuck shut at night and I couldn't open it,was waking every 2 hrs with eyelid stuck dry!.I was at my witts end!.Yesterday I went to eye specialist and he just told me to use dry eye drops,wel frustrated I googled eyelid stuck and dry eye and I found a cure!.You have to wet a piece of gauze with very hot boiled water and wipe the eye gently downwards and along the lashes with eye closed do this for 3 minutes making sure the water is quite hot!.Then get a cotton bud and dip in hot water and pull the lower lashes down and run it along the lower lash line close to eye about five times,dipping in hot water this will release the oil you need to keep tears in the eye!.If those glands clog ,no matter how many tears you put they will just evaporate because there is no oil being released!.I did this yesterday and for the first time I didn't have my eyelid stick to my eye last night halleluia!.cheers Hope it works for you,you might have to do this 3 times a day for a week!.If it isn't better by then ,then it must be another cause!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
