It's been a while...

I haven't updated my blog for a few weeks for a number of reasons, mainly because I've been working in the evenings on my laptop. One of the by products of working has been an increase eye dryness. This time round it has manifested as excessive tear production in my left eye - yes this can happen with dry eye as the eye tries to compensate the dryness (and for me it is more likely to happen as I have had my punctal ducts closed). My right eye has just been feeling very dry/tired/sore. I've been treating by using more of my eye drops.

On a separate note - something bizarre has been happening to my eye area - I have been losing eyebrow hair! I have no idea why but my eyebrows are looking very patchy. In a panic I had my self tested for thyroid disease but (thankfully!) this isn't the cause. I just hope they start growing back as otherwise I'll have to start penciling in the patches :).
